Sorry, should have been more specific. I've only tested this on NT.

Is this registry entry for WinNT or Win2k?  I checked my Win2k box and
didn't have the explorer key in policies.

FYI.... The best way I've found to secure yourself from this is to set:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 7f

This turns autorun off for ALL drive types.
