Re: Autorun

["Tomas L. Byrnes" <tomb () byrneit net>]

Not entirely true. There are some devices (Nexstar digital picture
frames FE) where the flash is read only unless you access it through the
included app. You can always launch the app directly, as opposed to by
Auto Run

For those things, I use VMware to hve a volatile VM (returns to snapshot
when powered off) to manage files.
