Disable Autoplay feature for Audio CDs and USB Drives

Sometimes it is very annoying when we plug laptop into my external hard drive… The Autoplay window pops up and asks what we want to do with the files, which may be fine the first time, but definitely isn’t after a year of that.

The following are the steps to disable Autoplay of Audio Cds and USB drives:
Go to Start Menu \ Run and type in:

gpedit.msc

You will see the Group Policy window. You should select Administrative Templates and then System in the tree view:

You will see an item in the right side pane called “Turn off Autoplay”

Double click the item, and set the radio button to Enabled, and change the “Turn off Autoplay on” to All Drives.

Now you should be safe from the autoplay problem.
