Making new registry key?

I'm not clear about interpreting the following instructions I found
for making a new key:
"Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer
Create a new key called: NoDriveTypeAutoRun
Type is: DWORD
Value is: 0x000000b5 (181)"

I've enter a new *key* named 'NoDriveTypeAutoRun'.
But what do I enter under 'Name' in the right hand side?
So far, I've added this second line to the existing one (both shown):

Name Type Data
----------- ---------- ---------------
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
DWORD REG_DWORD 0x000000b5 (181)

But that has Type = 'REG_DWORD', not 'DWORD', and anyway there seems
no option under Modify to *change* the Type.

FWIW, the instructions were here:
http://www.padus.com/support/manuals/450/html/02_Getting_Started/06_Operating_System_Setup_Tips.htm
and my aim is simply to turn off AutoPlay, so that my DVDs and CDs do
nothing automatically when I laod them.
