In the FAQ didn't you mean one needs to stop autorun and not autoplay?
I also don't have gpedit.msc on my computer because from what I understand it's only on XP Pro and not XP Home.
I found the following advice on the net and would appreciate your opinion.
***************************************************
To block autorun.infs from executing, follow these steps
1. Start Notepad or another text editor (don't use Microsoft Word or Wordpad)
2. Copy the following text from this page and paste it into your text editor (everything between the square brackets should be all on one line)
REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"
3. Save the file with a name like NoAutoRun.reg, taking care to include the .reg extension
4. Right-click your .reg file and choose Merge. Confirm any warning prompts to add the information to the Registry.
What we did is to nullify the file that Windows searches when you insert a removable drive.
