Disable CD/DVD or USB drive Autorun

Well, this is one of my most suggested and
favorite computer trick.
What this small trick does
is, it simply makes you to
disable Autorun of any
removable drives such as cd, dvd, Pen drives etc.
You might
have noticed often that,
when ever you plugin your
USB into the Usb port or
when you insert a cd or dvd into the cd/Dvd rom
drive, Auto play option
automatically gets
executed.
It is very dangerous to
allow any drive autoplay on its own, specially Usb
drives. Because, along with
Autorun files, USB drives
containing virus also gets
executed resulting your
computer affected by virus or Trojan horses. So this trick goes this way.
Disable CD Autorun 1) Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC 2) Go to Computer Configuration, then->
Administrative Templates,
---> System. 3) Locate the entry for Turn autoplay off. Double
click on it 4) Click on Enable. 5) Select All Drives to disable all drives including
Usb drives or only Cd Rom
drive. 6) Now click on apply.
