Note Updates , , and provide the same functionality for Autorun. Update was repackaged as security update to provide an additional security update for Windows Vista and Windows Server The following table shows the differences in the three updates:. After the prerequisite updates are installed, you can use the procedures in any of the following sections to disable Autorun features:.
The main purpose of Autorun is to provide a software response to hardware actions that you start on a computer. Autorun has the following features:.
These features are typically called from removable media or from network shares. During AutoPlay, the Autorun. This file specifies which commands the system runs. Many companies use this functionality to start their installers. AutoPlay begins reading from a drive as soon as you insert media into the drive.
Therefore, the Setup file of programs and the music on audio media start immediately. If you enable the settings to disable AutoPlay the procedure to do this is described in this article , you can disable AutoPlay on a CD drive, on removable media drives, on all drives.
If the settings conflict, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration. Autorun commands are generally stored in Autorun. These commands enable applications to start, start installation programs, or start other routines. In versions of Windows that are earlier than Windows Vista, when media that contains an Autorun command is inserted, the system automatically executes the program without requiring user intervention.
Because code may be executed without user's knowledge or consent, users may want to disable this feature because of security concerns. The configuration settings that are described in this article give Administrators the ability to selectively or completely disable all Autorun capabilities for systems that run Windows , Windows XP, Windows Server , Windows Vista, and Windows Server systems.
The default behavior in Windows Vista and Windows Server is to prompt the user whether an Autorun command is to be run. Changes to these settings are described later in this article.

CDs and DVDs would still be able to present users with the option to run content to end users. While it does address the Conficker problem, Microsoft's solution has several shortcomings.
First, it makes it much more difficult for end users to be able to access software that they themselves have installed to their portable device like the PortableApps. Other portable solutions would be similarly affected as would promotional drives distributed as 'give-aways' by vendors and businesses which include marketing and promotional content.
It could even be designed to look like the Windows autoplay prompt to play the audio CD and then install malware on a computer before doing so leaving the user in the dark. A far better solution would be to disallow autoplay for unsigned code and make the autoplay selection box clearer about what is going to happen to the end user. This has a number of benefits that the existing configuration as well as Microsoft's current solution to Windows 7 lacks including:.
I want to do so with Sony Vegas. For the sake of argument I may also want to import with Pinnacle or Ulead. The question is how do I get that choice into the AutoPlay options? Following on from Rays question i want to know the same thing.
WHen i open the Autoplay window and go to devices, my Nikon D is available on the list with four options. None of them is the option i want. I need to add download with Adobe Bridge. How do we do it????? It seems that no third party utility exist to change Autoplay options other than defaults in Vista. Other than contacting the hardware vendor, one thing you might want to try is to set "Ask me everytime" in Autoplay for the device and see if you can set it to the option you want after connecting the device.
No guarantees, but it's worth a try. I would like to remove options involving "Windows Backup" and "Windows Readyboost" which are programs I don't use. There doesn't seem to be anyway to eliminate these from displaying, unless someone out there has invented a clean up app. T-Mobile iCloud Private Relay. Avira Antivirus Crypto Miner.
