Hello:
Through group policies or other changes in the windows registry it’s posible to disable the autorun feature which activates when a removable device is just plugged, but i need also tu disable the feature windows explorer have (at least in windows 2000/XP) of activating autorun when we double-click on a volume if it contains the autorun.inf file at the root. It’s posible to circumvent this behavior by using the context menu, but we could forget to do that.
I have encountered a number of worms exploiting the removable drive autorun feature and this would be a good step in prevention; i have taken into account that most users aren’t aware of ways to prevent the kind of attack autorun allows and antivirus software have failed me several times.
