Are you annoyed by autoplay when inserting USB or Flash drive in your laptop? Did you know that this autorun or autoplay feature will lead your laptop into infections because of worms and viruses? That's why it's better to disable that feature before its too late. I will teach you how to disable autorun/autoplay in Windows XP.

3. Group Policy window will show up.

4. In the left side pane, Under Computer Configuration, look for Administrative Template.
