JG> Finally, you can use this registry entry to do the same thing:

JG> ********* CUT HERE ***********
JG> Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

JG>
JG>
SB>[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Expl
SB>rer JG> ]
JG> "NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=hex:b1,00,00,00

JG> ********* CUT HERE ***********

JG> Put these three lines into Notepad and save it as Noauotplay.reg and save
JG> it.
JG> Now, double-click on the file and answer yes to allow it to merge the
JG> setting.

SB>Jeff, tried that, as making a small reg file that I could carry and apply
SB>to different machines sounds like the best way to go for me.  But when I
SB>did as above, and tried to run it, it came back and said not a vaild reg
SB>file, not binary or something to that effect, how in notepad do I save
SB>that as a valid reg file?

Did you inclide the "Cut Here" lines?  You should not.  Also, make sure that
there are only 3 text lines - it's possible there was word wrap in the message
you copy and pasted from.  One line starts with "Windows Registry", the second
with "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER" (and ends with a closing square bracket, "]") while
the third is the "NoDrive" one but be sure to leave the quotes as typed in the
message.

Worst case, send me an email (jguerdat at rochester dot rr dot com) and I'll
attach it for you.
