NoDriveTypeAutoRun - Disable for CD-ROM, but enable for removable drives...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi

We are using the USBDML product and trying to enable autorun for USB
devices only (i.e. disable for CD-ROM drives)
This is because some of our USB drives use the DTE_Privacy_Launcher,
which is autorun from one of the USB volumes to allow access to the
encrypted data on the other volume.

We are struggling to get Windows XP to differentiate between CD-ROM
and removable drives

The registry setting we seem to be having issues with is:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
\NoDriveTypeAutoRun

We are struggling to find the 'component' bitmap values for Windows
XP...

There is a great article on the Windows 2000 value settings
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/93502.mspx?pf=true
but these seem to be different for Windows XP...

All we can find is
"Look at the value of the NoDriveTypeAutoRun entry. A value of 0xb5
turns off the AutoRun feature for CD-ROMs. To turn on the AutoRun
feature, right-click NoDriveTypeAutoRun, click Modify, type 91 in the
Value data box, select Hexadecimal, and then click OK."

We have googled, search resource kits, etc. but can't seem to find the
bitmap values for specific components under XP..
Does anyone happen to know these values?

Regards and thanks

David
