        ^^ i don't know about you but i completely forget about it until i read this thread and then it's like "oh yeah... ". now if it was a case of guinness or something i'd be sitting like a dog next to the door waiting for the mailman.. err, mailperson.

                    1st off, you can't autostart a script, like a DVD or Software CD that starts a program located on the disk once you insert it, from a USB key in XP and I believe that is also the case with 2K... this is a security feature that is built in to prevent people from coming up to your system and slipping a USB device in that would simply install a trojan, virus, etc.. There is no operating system setting that can override this. So, creating a .ini file that points to an executable to initiate and begin collecting info on your system is not going to happen unless you start it yourself.

                    If you think this is a conspiracy:
                    1) Disconnect from your network
                    2) Insert USB Key
                    3) Once the OS finds your device, Close out the "What do you want Windows to do?" screen
                    4) Go to Explorer and navigate to the device icon
                    5) Right click icon and select "Format" using Fat32.. don't think NTFS would be an option, if so, select it.

                    If you still think that those instructions are full of shit.. replace step 1 and 2 with:
                    1) Insert USB device using a Work or School system, then proceed with 3-5.

                    Conspiracy resolved!
                    not entirely true. i just got a 1GB SanDisk USB key that when you plug it in it autostarts this SanDisk "U3" program that has some basic utils on it. I even formatted the fucker when i got it and it still does it. i think it must be some type of rootkit, dunno for sure though.
