Autoplay Disabled

I'm thinking the only way to get Autoplay Policies is via regedit but i dont know how to start and I'm runing Home Basic

Also, checking the option in the image below should have the same effect as using GPEDIT

I've just found an old thread Here which outlines a registry solution.

Open regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

and then,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Here you will find a key called "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" and probably set to 255. THATS THE PROBLEM.

Double click, change this to 145, then hit OK. Immediately you can plug in your USB or whatever other media ... and Notice autoplay is back!

If you want to enable autoplay foy ANY type of media what-so-ever, set it to 0 instead. Use 149 for Win XP.

Credit for this fix goes to a google search of mine, that landed on this thread. Next time I"m just gonna come here and search!!

   Warning

Changing certain registry settings can make your system unresponsive. Please make sure that you only change what is required, and nothing else.

Excellent news, glad it worked for you
