Disable AUTORUN autoplay on all drives

Here I'm going to tell you how to stop autoplay on windows drives.We have been getting lots of virus problems which infect computers through autorun.inf file as autoplay is enabled on the windows drive by default.
To disable autorun for all the drives on your computer, you will need to configure it through windows registry.



Follow the procedure below to stop autoplay on windows drives
1. Open Start --> Run or press Window + r

2.Type regedit.exe and press enter .This will open registry

3. Navigate to the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER-->Software-->Microsoft--> Windows--> CurrentVersion-->Policies-->Explorer


4. Double-click the NoDriveAutorun registry key and type the value in Hexadecimal as FF (or 255 in Decimal).

5. Exit registry and restart your computer for changes to come into effect.



This is how you can disable autorun on all your drives and at least will prevent autorun activity of virus infected USB pendrives or CD’s and avoid infection through autorun.inf viruses.
