If you ever wanted full control over the Autplay feature of your Windows operating system you should take a look at the free software Autplay Repair which gives you excellent control over every aspect of Autoplay. Since there are different autoplay menus for different kind of media that are inserted you may select to remove, modify or add options for those menus. It is furthermore possible to disable the autoplay feature for drive letters. If your don’t want the autoplay feature for your CD writer you could disable it here easily.
It is furthermore possible to create backups of those settings to revert them back if another program added its entries to the autoplay menu. Last but not least Autoplay Repair offers a great overview of the most used locations for autoruns. Makes it pretty easy to remove them. Still, the main feature is of course the total control over all aspects of the autoplay function in Windows.
Update: The program is no longer available on the developer website. You can try Clean Handlers instead which provides nearly the same functionality. You can use the program to cleanup unwanted AutoPlay handlers, which includes deleting and fixing invalid, defect or malicious handlers that you do not want on your PC.
You can furthermore use the program to scan the system for autoplay handlers. This generates a report automatically that you can use to analyze the situation on the PC.
Most users may want to use the scan and fix option instead which fixes all issues automatically. A Registry backup is created automatically.
Another option is to remove handlers manually from the Windows Registry. Only tech savvy users should choose that option. The handlers are listed in the following two locations in the Windows Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ Handlers \
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ EventHandlers \
Make sure you backup the keys manually before you make changes to the Registry.
