WARNING IF YOU HAVE A U3 DRIVE
I followed these same instructions from another site and now cannot run my U3 drive at all. I don’t mean it doesn’t autorun on insert, I now cannot run the program to unlock the protected portion of the U3 drive at all. Still trying to restore my registry to it’s prior state so I can work with files on my U3 flash drive.

I use the USB Firewall 1.1.2 from Net Studio. This detects automatically all the files which tries to launch itself whenever a USB device is inserted.

I’m not seeing the “IniFileMapping” sub-tree in Vista’s registry for “[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion” So I’m hesitant to install this. Definitely a good idea though. I’ll have to look into Vista implementation.

Dante it’s working in XP, not sure about Vista.

One question, Martin: Is that auto.reg you posted for XP or Vista or Both?

To Yash, yesh it does :) But how many people are going to remember that? And if you’re IT in a company, how many computer illiterates will even bother to do that before they stick in that freebie USB stick they just got?

Does pressing shift for 10 seconds disable autorun?
