Whenever we insert a media into the drive, Windows automatically starts reading it. This is because of the AutoPlay function. AutoPlay is enabled for removable drives with Windows XP SP2 and later editions of Windows. Even the ZIP drives and some USB mass storage devices also automatically run when connected to computer. Do you want to turn off Autorun option in Windows XP?
Do the following:
1. Click on Start button in Windows and open the Run dialogue box.
2. Write gpedit.msc in the search box.
