Ricer46,
I found this thread via a Google search ("xp pro" "turn off" Autorun).
I am interested in the "even easier way." Please point me in the right direction.
I am running XP Pro SP2 (with all subsequent hot fixes) on a GamePC machine based
on a Gigabyte GZ-EP35-DS3P motherboard. It came with a Samsung DRW-S203NB CD RW
drive and a SIIG JU-91RW12-S4 7-in-1 card reader/floppy drive.
I added in an HP SCSI CD-Writer+ 9200 from a previous machine. I has been extremely
slow to load a CD recently. I have to wait until Autorun is done before I can look
at it using My Computer. I'm hoping that disabling Autorun will improve this performance.
I also read that it is wise to have Autorun disabled because there is malware that
can be installed from USB flash drives if Autorun is enabled. As I understand it,
it is wiser to explore the flash drive before electing to open any files on it.
Please share your easier way.
Thanks,
baumgrenze
