Disable autorun XP 3

[judgehopkins]

Is there a way to disable autorun in XP when I plug in a USB stick?

If so...how?

Thanks!

Also, TweakUI will do the trick, found here:

Holding down shift key will block the auto run. But this is something you will have to do each time you plug in a stick. It is a quick fix not a permanent one.
