I know where to start, but I don't know how to implement it for ya. These are the registry keys you would have to modify. A scorched earth method would be just to unlist them as event handlers. I wouldn't recommend that though, as that could break programs. Look for the registry setting for this group policy. Then use the chart in the article to get the setting you want. Using my handy dandy Windows Calculator, I get the value of b1 Hexadecimal or Punch that bad boy it.
So, there's apparently no hope for me, the hapless Windows 7 user. This MSDN document contains instructions on how to disable auto-play on individual drive letters. This is a binary number. Change the digits under the drive letters you want to disable auto play on to 1. Like this:. Name it NoDriveAutoRun. Now, type in the number you just figured out. Close regedit. Rebooting may be required for the change to take effect.
Determines whether Autoplay is enabled on each drive connected to the system. When Autoplay is enabled, media starts automatically when it is inserted in the drive.
The value of this entry consists of 32 bits. The lower 26 bits each represent a drive, with the lowest right-most bit representing drive A, and the 26th bit from the right representing drive Z. If a bit is set to 0, the Autoplay feature is enabled on that drive. If a bit is set to 1, the Autoplay feature is disabled on that drive. This uses the "NoDriveAutoRun" registry key which is still working in Windows 7 to change the behaviour of a specific drive.

To this end, I have an autorun. However when this file is on my drive and the drive is plugged in, windows 7 autorun scans the drive and shows the normal options show pictures, play videos, show all files, etc , but it does not show the option to run the specified program as it did in previous versions of windows. Nor does it show any of the specified context menu options. However the icon attribute specified in the autorun. I've searched through the auto run settings within the control panel, and found no relevant settings, and I have disabled and re-enabled autorun settings, but it hasn't helped at all.
Here is an example of my autorun. It works fine on older versions of Windows. Thursday, June 11, PM. Death - You may have missed the memo If you'll recall a few months back, there was this nasty virus spreading around known as Conficker.

That's not right. What SHOULD happen, as a response to potential threats, is simply disabling the "application on the device" autorun option by default, then including an advanced option to re-enable it which gives a warning about not being a recommended action due to potential security risk.
Just like UAC, automatic updates and the security centre.
