How do you turn off Auto Play In XP Pro

Can anyone tell me how to turn off the CD and DVD drive auto play function in XP Pro? I can't find it anywhere. I think there is a reg hack to do it but I can not find it anywhere. And I roamed around the device manager and Disk management applets thorougly.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Open My Computer, right click on the drive for which you want to turn off auto-play, go to Properties, then the Autoplay tab. Click on "Choose an option" to enable it, then click on "Take no action." Click OK. Do that for each drive.

That should do it.

 

Thanks fior your reply, I did all that you suggested before I asked the question, Nero Info tool says the Auto Insert thingie is still on however. Any one know the reg hack?

Thanks

Scroll to sections entitled Autoplay. Use the text, use powertoys_tweakui or one of her patches.

How about autoplay a la carte?

Just hold down the shift key as you insert a CD or DVD. This will disable autoplaly for that insertion.

 

the post above my last one put me on the right track, I got it all turned off.

Thanks everyone

No replies needed from now on I got it done
