To selectively disable specific Autorun features, you must change the NoDriveTypeAutoRun entry in one of the following registry key subkeys:.
The value of the NoDriveTypeAutoRun registry entry determines which drive or drives the Autorun functionality will be disabled for. For example, if you want to disable Autorun for network drives only, you must set the value of NoDriveTypeAutoRun registry entry to 0x If you want to disable Autorun for multiple drives, you must add the corresponding hexadecimal values to the 0x10 value. For example, if you want to disable Autorun for removable drives and for network drives, you must add 0x4 and 0x10, which is the mathematical addition of 2 hexadecimal values, to determine the value to use.
These default values are listed in the following table. All the fixes in the current update for Windows XP and for Windows Server are included in the HonorAutorunSetting registry entry in the following subkey:. Note For Windows Server and Windows XP, all changes of this update are controlled by the HonorAutorunSetting registry entry so that you can revert to the previous configuration if it is required.
The registry key has a default value of 0x1. This value enables the functionality that is present in the current update. Before you install the current update, this registry key is not present in the system. You can obtain prepackage installation Autorun behavior by manually setting the registry key to 0.
To do this, type 0 instead of 1 in step 6 of the following procedures to manually set the registry key. In the Open box, type regedit , and then click OK. In the Value data box, type 1 , click Hexadecimal if it is not already selected, and then click OK. To prevent the Autorun feature from being invoked, and to keep any programs from writing Autoun.
Note After you implement this procedure, Autorun features will not be available from network drives. The following Microsoft Knowledge Base article contains two methods to prevent users from connecting to a USB storage device:. Note After you implement one of these procedures on a system, USB storage devices no longer function on the system. The update does not change the current Autorun settings on your system.
Instead, the update lets users correctly enforce Autorun settings. Is there a change in user experience after this update is installed? After you install update , you might notice that Autorun features for network drives no longer function. This is because, by default, Autorun on network drives is set to disabled in the registry. After you install the update, a registry key that was already set to disable Autorun on network drives is enforced correctly.
This is the only functionality that will change after the update is installed. If a user had disabled Autorun for other drives before the update, they may notice a change in the double-click and contextual menu behavior after the update. Is this a security vulnerability that requires Microsoft to issue a security update?
Disabling the Autorun feature is an optional configuration that some customers may decide to deploy. Update only resolves the issue with Autorun functionality.
Why am I being redirected to update when I was looking for update ? Update and update offer the same updates.
Only the delivery channels for these were different. Update was released only for Download Center while update was released for Windows Update, for Automatic Updates, and for the Download Center. To avoid duplication of the same information, you are being redirected to update , which has all the latest information about these updates.
If I have update or update installed on my computer, will I be reoffered update ? No, update is the same update that was released as update but was packaged under update Therefore, if Add or Remove Programs shows that update or update is installed, you do not require update , and it will not be offered by Windows Update or Automatic Updates.
Do these updates disable Autorun capabilities? The updates that are offered correctly respect the registry key values that disable Autorun capabilities. These updates do not change the registry key values and will continue to respect values that were already set before these updates were installed. If the registry values were not set before you install these updates, then the registry key settings will have to be set appropriately in order to disable Autorun capabilities.
Where are the updates for Windows Vista and Windows Server ? Updates for Windows Vista and Windows Server were released together with some security updates in security update security bulletin MS In order to take advantage of the registry key settings that disable Autorun, customers who are running Windows Vista or Windows Server based systems must install security update Update is reoffered multiple times Update may be reoffered if the HonorAutorunSetting registry setting that is described in this article is not added to the registry hive.
