The windows autorundown.

My job requires to have my thumbdrive to be utilized on different xp terminals to assist me in my work which i won't talk more of now. I would like to share my workaround on this common issue to those who are usnure.

Most usb worms works with super-hidden-files which usually involves 2 files: autorun.inf and an executable

Assuming your personal system is windows based, use dos to view attributes of your drive to look thru and delete it it. No thumbdrive requires any autorun.inf less it's one of those 'secure-usb-password-thingies'.

Else just read up on this quick article for registry settings on superhidden:

For autorun disabling, the quickest and complete form of customizing is by using the WindowsPowerToys-TweakUI

Hope this helps those in need,

Cheers.

PS: Plugging a personal thumbdrive on other windows systems is like not using a condom.
