Article confuses AIN & AutoPlay

The article confuses "Auto Insert Notification" (AIN) and AutoRun/AutoPlay.

Besides it is missing the simplest and most elegant way to turn off AutoPlay on NT 
based systems ( Win 2000/XP/2003 ), that is the "Group Policy Object Editor". As 
Admin run the command "GPEDIT.MSC" and under "Local Computer Policy" / "Computer 
Configuration" / "Administrative Templates" / "System" , change the "Turn off Autoplay" 
item to "Enabled".

It turn off autorun, but not AIN, so when you insert a CD, the eploer will detect 
it, update its display ( CD label and capacitiy ), but will not run any programs.
