I've always been more than a little annoyed by Windows' AutoRun feature.
For example, when I insert a TechNet CD, Internet Explorer pops up and
gives me a disc menu that I have no interest in. I would rather just
navigate through the disc's file system and go directly to what I need.
Luckily, there's a way to change Windows' default behavior. In this TR
Dojo video, I demonstrate a handy registry hack the will disable AutoRun
on Windows XP and Vista.
