disable autorun

How can I disable autorun CD feature in windows xp?
I clicked on 'don't take any action' for that but then also it runs the CD when i insert the CD in drive.

I'm not positive that this is the same...I'm using Windows 98, but in Windows 98 when you put a CD in you hold down the Shift key until the lights on the CD-ROM have gone out and it won't autorun, it may be the same in XP

Open Regedit, go to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Cdrom and change the Autorun entry from 1 to 0.

actually in windows 98 i could do that easily with out using regedit. there was something like 'auto isertion notification' (if i am right), somewhere in system properties!

The 'pressing shift' idea was for temp. use.

In fact there's an easier way to disable it: open My computer, right-click on cd-rom, select properties, Autoplay tab, check "Select an action to perform" and select "Take no action". Repeat this for every content type.

hey,

i already had done that. it does work but if you look when u insert the cd ones it runs it but it doesn't take any action. I didn't want it to be run. i think u understand wht i want to say.
