A great tweaking file that comes with XP is gpedit.msc.
Go to Start -> Run… and then type in ‘gpedit.msc‘ and press enter.
This is effectively the windows Policies Editor, and it comes in handy often. For example, if you hate CD autoplay like I do and want to permanently disable it, you can use this tool to do so. Just run gpedit.msc, then go to
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System.
In here you can see the value ‘Turn Off Autoplay‘. Right-click on it and then click ‘Properties’.
That was a good tip to learn to disable auto play.. Does the same works for windows 2008
