I am trying to disable AutoPlay

I tried to run gpedit.msc but Windows says it can't find the file. I am planning to try the "Let me fix it myself" approach, but I would check for alternatives first thought.

Refer to the following Microsoft KB Article:

"How to disable the Windows Autorun feature"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/967715 >

You will find 'gpedit.msc' apply only to Windows XP Pro.  XP Home doesn't have a gpedit.  About 1/3 down from the article is a paragraph titled 'Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP'. Just after that it's a "Fixit" button you can hit to have Windows for you to do or you can continue to the section "Let me fix it myself".  Your choice.

HTH,

  • Microsoft Support pages are not viewable in Firefox (I tried to disable the modules and plugins)

    When trying to view a Microsoft Support article, I see the following (attached). It lacks all the text. This seemed to be correlated with the installation of 35 Firefox or Google Chrome 40.
    It does not correctly in IE 11 either.

    I tried to disable modules and Flash enabled. I find it very strange. I use a strong security product, have the latest version of Flash Player (although I turned off after that I tried to reproduce the problem because there is currently a 0-day).

  • I had access to my Bookmarks Toolbar wthat wrhen in fullscreen. Tried to disable the modules and plugins that have been updated without result. Suggestions?

    The add-on updated to date has been "Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar" to the 1.3.4 version and the plug-in has been Microsoft Siverlight to 5.1.10411.0 that were made earlier today. I don't think my daughter would have deliberately tried to change the settings without my permission. I have disabled them individually and with no positive effect. I know I have had access to him last night then in full screen (online game) when I open Facebook. Is anyone aware of a parameter which may affect this issue?

    You can use the code in userChrome.css to have the toolbar of bookmarks visible mode full-screen.

    Add code to userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    Customization files (interface) userChrome.css and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

    I was able to stop Lightroom to open, but Autoplay initiates always when the computer wakes up after the screen saver turns on.

    I want to disable THIS SPECIFIC PLAYER ONLY to launch the Autorun. Can you help me?

    1. open AutoPlay by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay.
     
    2. If you want to never see the AutoPlay dialog box, click on take no action next to the device or disc. To choose an action each time you plug in a device or insert a disc, click on ask me every time.

  • Enter key - disable AutoPlay

    Hi, I'm a newbee in Premiere Pro and I have question I can't Google an answer for. Please help :-)

    After adding a few clips, I always liked in preview mode. So I use the 'Enter' key to render, but the problem is preview starts at the beginning, so I have to scroll around in the place I really want to see. Is it possible to disable this feature of AutoPlay from the beginning after you hit Enter? Thank you!

  • How to disable 'AutoPlay' after creating the symbol?

    I want to create a symbol. When I tried this - I see the message with the check box for the AutoPlay option.

    Look for the symbol in the 'Elements' of you control panel, and then double-click the symbol icon. This will open this symbol and on the left side of the screen, in the "Properties" Panel, you'll find the checkbox for "Autoplay".

  • Disable AutoPlay or switch divs?

    If it's in the wrong section please pardon my noobishness, and feel free to move it there where it should be.

    I am currently working on a Web site and the client asked me to include an swf on its new Web site animation. It was not made by me, nor do I have the .fla file.

    It's easy enough to view the file, the problem is that he asked me to disable automatic playback.

    I was wondering if it was possible by editing the Javascript file? I was wondering it was possible to call the first div, leaving the "webvideo" div "playagain" hidden until the button is clicked.

    Please could someone tell me if this is possible. I don't know javascript, so I'm really at a loss. Thank you.

    Here's the javascript code, I'll call my html page...

    Thank you, but I'm afraid that did not stop the video playback. In my opinion, because he had built in controls.

    I managed to understand even if... That's what I came up with for anyone interested. As I said I'm new to flash, so maybe someone could tell me if is there something messy on the subject?
