"Turn off Autoplay" in gpedit.msc for windows 2003 and 2008

turn off autoplay is to change the action to do when a media is inserted, like usb storage, dvd, cds, it will follow the autorun.inf
but there is some concern that a usb storage contains virus trigger by its autorun.inf
so I always turn it off for all devices, so no auto play

and their place are different in windows 2003 and 2008


in Windows 2003, it is
gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System

in Windows 2008, it is
gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Autoplay Policies
