The AutoPlay/AutoRun setting can only be configured on a global Storage Device Control policy. It is not available on location-based policies. This means that it is always applied regardless of the device’s location.
This setting controls the Windows AutoPlay feature. AutoPlay performs two processes. First, it launches the AutoRun process, which looks for an autorun.inf in the root directory and executes the instructions in the file. Second, it looks for specific content (music, video, and pictures) and launches the appropriate application to display or play the content. Select one of the following options:
Enable: Enables both AutoPlay and AutoRun.
Disable AutoRun: Disables the AutoRun feature so that autorun.inf instructions are not executed. AutoPlay is not disabled so music, video, and picture applications are still launched.
Disable AutoPlay/AutoRun: Disables both the AutoPlay and AutoRun features.
Inherit: If the policy’s Inherit from Policy Hierarchy setting is enabled, inherits this setting from other Storage Device Control policies assigned higher in the policy hierarchy. For example, if you assign this policy to a user, the setting is inherited from any Storage Device Control policies assigned to the user’s groups, folders, or zone.
