I have been unable to get any autorun to come up at all from my USB drives. I am able though, to change the icon of the drive though (thank God for that!). Does anyone know how to access the onboard drivers for these drives? I wondering if possibly inserting the previously mentioned autorun driver for CD autorunning and tweaking it a bit to allow for the USB.
Basically, the biggest security risk I see is being able to throw something onto a locked desktop and be able to remove information while it is locked. Many times people will leave their comptuer unnattended but locked. If this is possible, obviously autorun should be disabled, but users should also be notified to log off, just not lock their desktops.
Anyone able to get autorun working on their USB? If so, would you mind sending the guts of the autorun.inf?

I was playing with this idea with a combination of a cdrom and usb drive - inserting the usb drive, then puting in a cd with the commands to run and dump to my usb drive, but you would have to know some variables, like the drive letter of your usb drive, etc (or as i did made a simple small c app to accept the drive letter to dump to, then run the commands i wanted to run, both with hard coding the commands into the c app, and as well as telling it to run "x:\start.bat" where 'x' was the drive letter entered). It works, even if it kind of defeats the purpose (hitting win+r then runing the bat file/commands would probably be just as fast). Hope this gives some ideas to anyone out there.
