^^ Goto following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\

In right-side pane, create new DWORD value "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" and set its value to 0x4

refer your answer to my question of 30th aug. the content tab has "settings" only for Content Advisor and not a general Settings button for "Feeds".

^^ Try this: 1. Open Internet Explorer and goto "Tools -> Internet Options". 2. Goto "Content" tab and click on "Settings" button under "Feeds". 3. Now uncheck "Automatically check feeds for updates" and Click OK.

Hi VG. Great list of registry edits! I've bookmarked it for quick access. A lot of these I know from reading the registry manually to find them, but some I didn't know and it's nice having a list to look at. I'd love to see it expanded with more restrictions over time. One note for a common question: "How do I add a restriction to a single user?" The method you give obviously works. There are a couple others I like. If you want it to apply to everybody except the Administrator, you can put it in a script in the 'Run' key for the system and block it for the Admin login. Make sure to use the command line switch to force it in. Depending on your system and choices, it is either /f to force it, /s for silent, or both. If you want to apply it to just a particular user and you're working on that PC, it's easy to do as Administrator. In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_USERS, then on the registry editor menu, click on File/Load Hive. In the pop-up window, navigate to the user's profile (c:\documents and settings\user) and select the user.dat or user.man file. A new pop-up displays asking for a name to apply to the hive; you can give it any name you like (I use the profile's name just to keep it clear in my mind what I'm working on). Once it's loaded, you can make your edits in that hive (HKEY_USERS\{prifile name}) and they will only affect that user.
