Merry Christmas, all.

Last year I got a digital camera.

At some point this year I got concerned about Autorun, malware, USB keys
and all that, so I disabled it.

Bye bye digital camera.


Untrue.

I disabled AUTORUN a long time ago -- for things like digital cameras , or
anything else that relay on AUTORUN to automagically launch an application,
you can always simply move files around as you would any other attached
device/drive.

Easy stuff.
