Can anyone give me a link that could instruct me on how to disable Autorun.?
I don't want any special software though.
Thanks.

Go to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Autoplay
Uncheck "Use Autoplay for all media and devices"

Some of the boxes are filled in..
like..
Audio CD: Import songs using iTunes.
Should I choose something else.? Like "Ask me every time."?

Unless you really need to have a device run automatically every time you plug it in, its safer to just disable Autorun

*I CAN'T GET THE PICTURE ON HERE. ):*
Would the boxes highlighted in red matter if the blue box was unchecked.?
Can you give me any advice onto what I should set those boxes to, or should I leave them alone.?

If its unchecked, then you don't have to worry about any of the drop down menus.

Thank you so much.
So now it will prevent my iPod from getting infected if I plug it in.?
(Or any removable hardware.)
