I want to change the value of NDriveTypeAutorun within HKeyCurrent User to
0000 95 00 00 00 00 as the instructions indicate to make autoplay function
again. I did this once before and it worked, but the box to allow insertion
of the change doesn't permit the spaces between the 00? How do I modify? ( I
also notice I have another entry for NoDriveType Autorun that begins with
_NoDriveAutoRun and this one does have a 95 at the end of the string (the
regular one has 'ff' (no quotes)-will just deleting one do the trick?)
Thanks

Run the update after you install.

Copy/paste the following into Notepad and save as a .reg
file. Merge it into your registry by double clicking on it, or
right click / Merge. Note that everything between [ and ]
MUST be one line only, and there must be a blank line at
the end.

In series -

1) You don't type the spaces. They're there so you can SEE what to
type.

IOW - you actually change the FF to 95 by overtyping it.

2) No, the _NoDriveAutoRun was put there by someone or something to
keep the old NoDriveAutoRun setting after installing a NEW setting. Best
you could do with that would be to delete the NoDriveAutoRun, then rename
_NoDriveAutoRun to NoDriveAutoRun.

It'd be easier to change the FF to a 95, though ... fewer characters
to type.
