Problem With Autoplay Option !!!

Dear Friends,

I need help with this. Is it possible for me to disable the autoplay option for my usb drives/thumb drives alone?? I need the option of autoplay for my optical drives but i want to disable the same option for my usb drives to avoid viruses..

Thank You.

yes when it pops up you should be able to highlight "Take No Action" and check the box that says something like do this always.

Here are two .reg files.
One disables pen drive autoplay, the other re-enables it.
It is a per-user configuration.
Double click on the .reg file and choose "Yes".
