AutoPlay/AutoRun Not Working or Missing Not Open in Windows Vista » My Digital Life

For me, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveAutoRun key was set to 255 (disable all). I set it to 145 (decimal), logged off and back onto windows, and AutoPlay began to work again.

For me, autoplay quit working after i installed VMware Workstation, so i suspect maybe it disabled autoplay.

Thanks for the feedback quillaja a lot of people unfortunately don't realise how important feedback is for helping others and we never hear back from them.
