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.

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)
I've taken some pics from there, pls teach me how to do it...
Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it
