How to permanently disable AutoPlay

[charleychacko]

If you frequently insert and remove CDs, you may want to permanently stop the AutoPlay feature -- specially if you have children that swap game CDs who may not know how to handle "AutoPlays." Unfortunately, you have to take different steps to do this depending on your operating system:
Windows 95

Click on "Start"
Choose "Settings"and then "Control Panel"
Double click on the "System" icon
Change to the "Device Manager" tab
Double click on the CD-ROM and then the name of the CD-ROM
Change to the "Settings" tab
Uncheck "Auto Insert Notification" checkbox
Windows NT

Run the "Registry Editor" ("Start | Run | RegEdit.exe | ENTER")
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\System\CurrentControlSet
\Services\CdRom"
Double click on "Autorun"
Change the value from "1" to "0"
