To disable the XP Autorun feature

Hello

I want to disable the Autorun XP feature such that when I insert a CD ROM with the file "autorun.inf" in this regard, the computer does nothing. Followed the instructions available on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715 and succeeded. (when I login as an administrator). When I login as a regular user, however, autorun is not disabled. Considered the key to register (as a normal user) for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun and the value is not correct. When logged in as an administrator, the value of this registry key is correct.

Someone in this forum have some ideas? Or is it one for Microsoft technical support?

Mark Ponsford

HKCU is by user.  So if change you it to the administrator, it does not change it for any other user.  You must change for each user.  Or add the entry under HKLM

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

Create the DWORD NoDriveTypeAutoRun value and give it a hexadecimal value of FF.

and that should apply to the whole machine.

  • I need to disable the slide show feature in Windows Live Mail 2011

    I asked the question back here December 7:

    I have a list of disks that I send that contains some pictures. Is there a way to disable the slide show feature is not there when I send this list. Also - for some reason, it is much more difficult to add to my list because I went from Windows Outlook to Windows Live Mail 2011. No idea why it is difficult to make additions to my list?  Thanks - Bob
     
    It was the response I received from Michael Santovec:
     
    (1) turn off picture messaging
    WLM 2011: ALT + F, Options, mail, compose - uncheck: message to convert to e-mail photo when you add photos

    While composing
    WLM 2011: Insert (ALT + I), simple Photo or attach file

    There is a solution to avoid the send from Windows Explorer forcing picture messaging in WLM 2011 despite the program settings.

    When you select to send, accompanied of a record no graphic images.  This could be just a file dummy.txt which is located in the same folder.

    You will always have the ability to resize the images, but they find themselves attached instead of a mail of the photo.  You can then right click on the file dummy.txt and remove it from the message before sending it.

    An another workaround if you are connected with a Live ID account in WLM is right click on the album in the message composition window, then left click on the tab tools of Photo Album that highlights in the Ribbon, and then the trombone to convert attachments.

    Now, I'm not much more than a 'computer' man so maybe I did something wrong but the instructions above do not work. And now things have become even worse:

    -now, I try to download my list several times before it actually works. Most of the time part of the page or the whole page becomes completely black.

    -the few times that I can send my page and send him off to someone it takes about 5 to 6 minutes to go from my Outbox sent items.

    I really need to turn off the slide show feature in my windows Live Mail 2011, otherwise I'll have fet another e-mail provider that is not something I want to do. I really don't like the new look of WLM 2011, but this problem with the slideshow feature drives me crazy. Any help here will be greatly appreciated - Bob

    P.S. I thought to return to Outlook from Windows, but since I am on Windows 7 is apparently not an option.

  • Disable the expand - retract feature of size

    I would like if possible, disable the function that expands or contracts the size of images on the screen, because it seems that my touchpad is very sensitive and I move the cursor I often get a very awkward shift in the size of the image.  I have to then try to resize the image that is not as simple as that.  Seems that this change in size is kind of a random thing and wants to work when he wants to work.  So is there a procedure step by step to disable this feature?

  • Satellite C50 - B - how to disable the touchpad zoom feature?

    Is there a way I can disable the zoom on my touchpad function.
    It is very annoying when it changes continuously zoom.

    Go to control panel-> mouse control
    Here, you should check the last tab.

    The name of this last tab depends on the driver for the touchpad that is installed on your laptop.
    There are two possibilities: either MOMENTUM or Synaptics driver

    In the case where your laptop supports the touchpad DRIVE, go to the tab MOMENTUM.
    Now you will see new window ELAN Smart Pad with 3 tabs: a finger, finger Multi, Additional
    Go to the multi-doigt tab and disable the option called zoom.

    If you want to set the text size/pixel density in firefox is different that your system settings as it has been addressed in previous versions, enter about: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. Double-click it and change its value to 1.0 (or any zoom factor that suits your needs; -1.0 is the default and will respect the parameters of the system).

  • How can I disable the 'auto play' settings on my laptop built in SD card reader? I use Windows XP and it is a DELL INSPIRON 9400 laptop

    When I use a card reader external to see pictures on a CF card is not a problem, it gives me options to choose what need do is what I want my internal card reader to do, any help, advice or solutions would be very welcome for all your technicians over there.

    Follow the procedure described in the following article:

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

    There is a section in this article "How to selectively disable specific Autorun features", but you can disable it only based on the "Type" of the player.  What you can find, is that your CF card reader goes up as a 'removable disc' then your SD reader rises up like a 'fixed reader' (or vice versa) and it is the determining factor on the behavior that you get.
