CD/DVD/USB disk autorun

some malware infects removable devices and network shares using a special autorun.inf file, ie CD DVD USB, disabling Autorun will stop this.

hold down shift whilst the dvd is being read for the first time after you place it in the drive. This will stop it auto-running. useful if you are trying to rip audio files off a protected dvd/cd, or suspicous of a usbdrive or media you think has malware on. always be careful if you find media lying around/lost property.
