Can you keep Autoplay for apps, but disable autorun.inf file? Tuesday, February 7, 2006 at 4:53 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JB (2 messages posted) Autorun works great for me, I run WMP to automatically rip MP3s from a CD and run DVDShrink when I put in a DVD. But, some CDs (like Velvet Revolver) try to install crap in the background when you insert it. So, I don't want to disable autoplay but want to prevent the autorun.inf file from executing.  How can you keep Windows XP from running any setup programs, but still keep your autoplay actions? The registry setting mentioned in the article turns off everything, and TweakUI and the Autoplay options through My Computer don't let you do anything for "Data CD".
