How to disable Autorun feature?
Hello,
I do agree with you on that. Here is a step-by-step process on how to disable and re-enable the autorun feature of Windows. Don't worry, these steps are so simple.
This method works with Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, this is pretty much the same with Windows XP and lower version of Windows OS.
-
Click on Start, then type gpedit.msc on the start search box, and then press ENTER.
-
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or just simply click on Allow.
-
Under ‘computer configuration’, double click on Administrative Templates, and then double click on Windows Components, and then click Autoplay Policies.
-
A dialog box will pop up, select on enable.
-
At the bottom part, select on ALL DRIVES to disable autoplay on all drives.
-
Restart the computer so the settings done would take effect. That should do it.
That would be it. I hope this helps.
