Hello,
I have a question in mind since yesterday and I have seen your forum its really good what you are doing here. So if you could tell me, how to disable the autorun feature I mean the one when you right click on a pen drive, it would be very nice from your part?

To disable autorun.inf and autoplay just download and run disable.reg and add keys to the registry.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:000000FF

Download disable.reg here: http://uploading.com/files/VXNCGZ34/disable.reg.html

Another way to disable autorun for pen drives / USB drives is to open registry editor in Windows (run the program regedt32.exe) and go to the following registry subkey:

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

and then enter the value 149 (95 in hexadecimal) for the NoDriveTypeAutoRun subkey value.

If you want to disable autorun for all kind of drives in your computer you can enter 255 (FF in hexadecimal) instead. But then will autorun for e.g. CDs and DVDs also be disabled.

Hi there,
And thanks for the greeting this is very nice form your part too and here is the solution to your problem. All you need to do is to go in the folder options and from there just click on the show hidden files option. Once in the pen drive just delete the file autorun.exe and you are done with it.

Instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER you can also change same subkey in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Then the changes will affect the whole computer. Not only the logged on user.
