disable autoRun in XP

Open the registry editor and navigate to the key:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.


Create a DWORD (32-bit) value named NoDriveTypeAutoRun. If it doesn't already exist.


Right-click the new value and click Modify. Set the hexadecimal value to 000000FF (the decimal equivalent of 255). Now, you can type all the preceding zeros, but you don't need to. You can just enter FF.
