New Autoplay Autorun options in Windows7

         Whenever an external device is plugged in
Windows it showed an Autorun options for
choosing what happens when you insert it.

 It can be configured at Control Panel > Autoplay

In order to help prevent malware from spreading
using the Autorun mechanism, the Windows 7
engineering team made two important changes to
the product:


1. AutoPlay will no longer support the Autorun
functionality for non-optical removable media. In
other words, AutoPlay will still work for
CD/DVDs but it will no longer work for USB
drives.

2. A dialog change was done to clarify that
the program being executed is running from
external media.

Some smart USB flash drives can pose as a
CD/DVD drive instead of standard ones. In
this specific scenario, the operating system
will treat the USB drive as if it is a CD/DVD
because the type of the device is determined
at the hardware level.
