Thank you, Olórin, I will study your recommendations. I will more deeply
study the items of the registry. I also meant to make some registry
correction and put i to Windows Start to renew the setting if any setting is
not really permanent. I would also like to find some Microsoft reference to
this problem (=what sets the "NoDriveTypeAutorun" item to default). I use my
PC for my job and don't want to use any stupid decorations in the system.
I'll give information in some time, maybe in a new discussion thread.

I know TweakUI, I set many times Autoplay off using it but the setting
always
returned back after some time. That's why I started to search some more
efective setting and I came to registry setting. Now I see that it is also
not enough. I offen use the cleaning programs as I wrote but as I checked
the
registry setting haven't changed after cleaning.

Hello!
I don't want to get annoying messages when I connect USB Flash disk or
put
DVD in the drive. I found that I can switch it off in the Registry -
all
items with the name "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" (about 4 or 5 of them) set to
"FF"
value - Autorun off for all units. But after some time I always see
that
the
values have been set to default and I receive the messages again. Maybe
some
autorepair function of XP. Do you somebody know what to do? Some better
setting (or some batch to overwrite the registry after every XP start)?
Thanks!
Install Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP
Tweak UI (part of package)
This PowerToy gives you access to system settings that are not exposed in
the Windows XP default user interface, including mouse settings, Explorer
settings, taskbar settings, and more.
[and it allows you to turn off autorun/autoplay for every single drive
letter]

Honza, try this (from Scott Dunn in Windows Secrets newsletter):
You seem fairly comfortable with editing the registry, but I wouldn't
recommend it to novices. And always back it up first.
Start Notepad and enter this text:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"
Close Notepad and save the file as something with a .reg extension, eg
NoAutoRun.reg.
In Windows Explorer, right-click NoAutoRun.reg and left-click Merge in the
drop-down menu, and confirm that yes, you are sure you want to merge.
This should stop the information in ALL autorun.inf files from starting up -
flash drives, CDs, DVDs, other removable drives.
To revert, in Registry Editor navigate to IniFileMapping as specified above,
click on any + sign there might be to expand, locate the AutoRun.inf icon,
right-click and left-click on Delete. Reboot may be necessary.
Let us know how you get on!
