How to avoid auto play of CD ?

Hey this time no registry trick even though there are ways in registry to do it. In earlier operating systems only those CD that had autorun.inf file in their root directory were able to execute on its own but with advent of WINDOWS XP it has become possible with just about anything. Well sometimes it is good but there are other times when you want to avoid this part of automation. What would I do. Simply press SHIFT key when you enter a CD in your CD drive. It won't Auto play. For those of you, who do want a registry hack. Here it is:
Open Registry and navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer] and look for key "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" and set its value to 185 (decimal). This would stop autoplay.

SPEED UP BOOTUP SEQUENCE

Speedup boot up sequence by defragmenting all key boot files tip:

Open Registry by going to START-RUN and typing REGEDIT. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction. In right hand panel look for Enable. Right click on it and set it 'Y' for enable. This is the way I have it set on my computer. This will help speedup boot time.

SPEED UP THE INTERNET BY 2O%

Speed up your internet by 20%

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own

purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc

You can get it back:

Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens

the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy
then Computer Configuration
then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler

and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not

configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."By

default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the

bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override

the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.

This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the

default 20%.It works on Win 2000 as well.

How did you like it.please comment.

Note:This trick works only for windows xp sp2 professional and

windows 2000 professional.It does not work on windows xp sp2 home

edition.
