The following section describes the locations and values for useful registry

entries that are available in the operating system, but not available in the Sys-

tem Policy Editor.

Autorun

Category:

Windows NT Shell

Subcategory:

Removable media

Description:

Determines whether the Autorun feature is enabled on

each drive connected to the system. When Autorun is

enabled, media is started automatically when it is in-

serted in the drive. This value is comprised 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

autorun feature is enabled on that drive. If a bit is set to

1, the autorun feature is disabled on that drive.

For example, if the value of this entry is 0x8 (1000 bi-

nary), autorun is disabled on drive D. Note that a value of

1 in the bit representing the CD-ROM drive takes prece-

dence over the value of Autorun.
