How to disable auto run feature of usb drives for windows XP, since virus makers are using advantage from that. Auto run of drives will lead the virus get activated without even opening the file in that drive. recently my system get effected by torojan horse, this virus use especially this feature for spreading in the system. any help will be appreciated.

 

hi there, you can disable auto run feature from all drives using gpedit.msc command.
I'll have to get my XP machine running to post sum jpegs, since registry is different in vista and xp.
Wait for it.
