Another Windows 7 (and Vista) tip

I was just reminded that I have never turned off Autoplay on Win 7. I consider autoplay to be the very spawn of the devil; it is a bad idea all around. Under XP, you can disable it with TweakUI, but I hadn't gotten around to figuring out how to do it under 7. Anyway, here's how (stolen from some web site or other)

• Type gpedit.msc in the Start Search box (or Start -> Run if you are using Windows XP), and then press ENTER to open the Group Policy Editor.
  
• Under Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components > click Autoplay Policies.
  
• In the RHS Details pane, double-click Turn off Autoplay to open the Properties box.
  
• Click Enabled, and then select All drives in the Turn off Autoplay on box to disable Autorun on all drives.
  
• Restart.
