This is the way to really kill it

PRO

1) Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC

2) Go to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System.

3) Locate the entry for Turn autoplay off and modify it as you desire.


HOME

1) Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT

2) Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

3) Create a new value called: NoDriveTypeAutoRun

Type is: DWORD
Value is: 0x000000b5 (181)

You may need to log off/log on or reboot for the change to take effect.

Additionally, you may need Administrator privileges to edit the Registry.
