I downloaded this the other day when they disabled autoruns at my office, and it works great as it runs known programs from known USBs.

I have found two things that may result in a single suggestion:
1. I have a Read-only stick that after logging onto its encryption opens the read-write portion. I cannot generate usbagent.inf on this stick.
2. There is an insecurity in that someone can place a usbagent.inf file on the USB to run malware. The issue here is that the name of the file is constant.

Suggestion (once I learn Germant o suggest it) that usbagent have an option to run usbagent.inf from the host computer, so that it can decide what file to call from the usb drive., anming it as one will.
