During the unlocking of my Huawei E5830 MiFi is one simple problem. The unlock software at the end of the unlocking process restarts (what is OK) the device E5830 (I think turn OFF and then ON – the same as yo unplug and plug in) and unlocking process finishes with error code. Why? Because the autorun.inf inside the device starts up installation wizard and blocks the COM port and unlocking software can not recognize device at that port.
I have tried the simplest way – to deactivate autorun in my Windows Home Premium 32bit. But it looks tha it is hardest way. I spent with it all day by browsing the informations how to do it. I have tried many ways how to do it, but all was unsuccessful.
What I have tried:
1. Holding SHIFT key on keyboard does not works for me
2. Adding registry key as :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER_Software_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Policies_Explorer
NoDriveAutoRun REG_DWORD 0x000000ff
Does not works too.
3. Even using this reg entry to completely block and disable autorun.inf files on this website:

did not solved my problem.
4. I turned off Autoplay in control panel – no change
5. I did not tried gpedit.msc, because it is not in my version of windows
So I am at end of my ideas. What I can do more? How to stop running autorun .inf
My next idea is to rename Autorun.inf to Autorun.txt and after unlocking rename back to Autorun.inf (or delete it and then copy it back)
But the USB modem behaves as CD. I can not delete or copy anythink on it. Even format it. But I do not want to format it.
My question is:
1. How to turn off autorun on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, or
2. How to rename/delete autorun on my USB device?
My issue is very similar as here:
