Restoring AutoRun to Drives

Hi,

I followed some advice a while back to turn off AutoRun on my external
drives.

The method I used was to change the value of all keys called
'NoDriveTypeAutoRun' to FF in my Registry. (ie. Turn them all off.)

This worked perfectly, but now I realise that I included my photo card
reader drive in that procedure as well by mistake. I want to have my
photo card reader drive back on AutoRun, so that inserting a card
automatically starts up the program I use to transfer my photos from
card to computer.

The trouble is, I can't remember what the value of it was before I
changed it to FF... :(

Can anyone tell me what the default value should be, so I can put it
back, please?

Thanks in advance,

Easy method is to download / install TweakUI from the Powertoys for XP
and then look under My Computer section --> AutoPlay --> Drives

Ha! I'd forgotten about TweakUI...

I already have it installed. Trouble is, when I look in the 'Drives'
section under Autoplay, ALL the boxes are ticked, right the way through
from A to Z, even though I only have C, D, E & I.

I had a mooch around there though and found the one for Autoplay Drive
Types, ticked the box for removable drives, and hey presto! It worked.

Thanks.
