then after performing the delete how to create back the autorun for the system.. i mean by plugging in the pendrive then the system will popup the autorun in which u can choose to run open with windows explore or wat so ever..
*
I'm facing the same problem also. How to restore the autorun for the pendrive? I've run flash disinfector with the pendrive and the virus is gone now. But everytime I plug it in there's no autorun to wither open with a program or open folder to view it?

How to restore this function?

Ok from the screen shots, that NoDriveAutoRun key is also part of this.  From microsoft's description of that:

The value of this entry consists of 32 bits. The lower 26 bits each represent a drive, with the lowest (right-most) bit representing drive A, and the 26th bit from the right representing drive Z. If a bit is set to 0, the Autoplay feature is enabled on that drive. If a bit is set to 1, the Autoplay feature is disabled on that drive.

With your value's being as they are, autorun is completely disabled on all of your drives.  If you want to enable it, set all the values to 0's for both keys.  But again...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT ENABLING AUTOPLAY DUE TO SECURITY REASONS!!.  Learn the other easy ways to open your drives quickly.


Added on November 5, 2008, 10:38 amOh yeah, one more thing.  If you have a computer that has group policy being applied from a company network, or even a local group policy on your machine that is disabling autoplay, changing the registry is not going to help you as the group policy settings will override whatever you have set in the registry.  You can check your local group policy by doing the following:

Click start-> Run
type: gpedit.msc

Go to User section, Administrative templates, Windows Components, System...and look at "Turn off autoplay" to see if anything is set there.

Go to Computer section, Administrative templates, Windows Components, System...and look at "Turn off autoplay" to see if anything is set there.

If you see turn of autoplay enabled, and you have admin access to your machine you can disable them.  Then do:

Start->Run
type:  gpupdate /force  (for windows XP)

Thanks bro nlinley for your help

And also i don't notice any folder or key named System in gpedit.msc

Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it notworthy.gif

For changing the binary value FF FF, is it typing in four 0 at the beginning?
And how to change the Dword key to 0?
Dword key means the y thing at the end of right side?

Under gpedit - turn off autoplay, it's not configured. So I guess it's ok to just leave it?

Also, erm I'm using XP, it's a vista interface thing that I applied that makes it look like vista sweat.gif
