In this article, I’ll tell you the way to completely disable AutoPlay option. Many of you might want to know that why we’re doing that? Actually, users behavior is the need of such method. Some users might want to use Explorer to view the files inside an inserted media rather than opting for options inside AutoPlay. Basically, AutoPlay is enabled for removable drives. This includes ZIP drives and some USB mass storage devices. 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.So without wasting any more time, let see the method:
