Not quite, In Windows XP SP2 the system can read the autorun.inf in removeable media (specifically USB Flash Drives) and start a program or install etc like a CD rom does. However I haven't seen it work.

I have been interested in a potential exploit that may or may not be an issue, I read lately that a potential malicious file could enter a system via a USB Memory stick with a structured autorun.pif , and this file would operate even if the screen lock is activated . _________________________________________________________________ Get a Credit Card - 60 sec online response:
