From a cursory check on Google, it seemed to me that USB devices won'tautorun on Windows, but I'm not convinced that it can't happen.
Eh? From my recollection, it wasn't that long ago that someone was testing it out and finding out how far you could take autorun. As of at least mid-year last year, I know that WinXP defaulted to autorun on USB sticks: I don't know if that has been reset in any of the recent patches. How far you could take that with MP3 players is open to experiment. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org All reports are in.
