Guest Bercea Gabriel Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 hello I want to know if there is a possibility of disabling the Cd auto run programmatically but in real time, without having to restart the computer. I know it can be disable from registry but this needs restart. I know that if I modify the reg key and the unmount and mount again the cd devices I will succeed but this is too complicated. I also know that by holding down the left shift button while the cd is loading the auto run is skipped. Is there another way ?
Guest David Webb Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: disable CD auto run Yes. Try this Group Policy tweak. Launch the Group Policy editor by clicking on Start > Run. Then type in "gpedit.msc" w/o the quotes and click OK. Click and expand "Computer Configuration", then navigate to "Administrative Template", followed by "System". Change the status of "Disable Autoplay" to "Enabled". Click on Apply and "OK" and then close the editor.

Guest David Webb Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: disable CD auto run I have no experience in this area. Maybe this link will help you: Step-by-Step Guide to Understanding the Group Policy Feature Set http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/howto/grpolwt.mspx If you're referring to logon scripts for use in a network, I'd suggest posting your question to the experts in one of the many network newsgroups, such as microsoft.public.win2000.networking.
