turning off autoplay in XP

why is it that when i select "take no action", the apply button is greyed out? even when i choose, music, video, etc, its still greyed out. all i want to do is turn it off completely. its pretty annoying and i feel like a schwanz for not not getting it corrected.

Here you are:

Click Start
Click Run
Enter GPEDIT.MSC
Group Policy mmc will popup. On left panel:
Double-click Computer Configuration to open submenu
Double-click Administrative Templates to open submenu
Double-click System to open submenu
Double-click Turn autoplay off option which will be near the bottom of the list in the right panel.

The default is the Not configured . Set it to Disabled.
