Hi AdrienI was able to achieve this in Windows XP home by changing a registry value.If you are comfortable using regedit and you are aware of the implications of changing registry values you may want to try this.It involves changing the value of the registry key NoDriveTypeAutoRun The value of this controls which drives will autorun. If you do a google search on NoDriveTypeAutoRun You will find more details. I have mine set to "FF". This stops all autoruns.
