If Microsoft is going to make my Laptop less usable with their new OS, I WILL do what I have to to remedy the situation, but I would prefer a fix for the current OS over the other options. other than a supposed downgrade to XP on my new laptop. I doubt I really matter to Microsoft enough to get a fix. Yes, there are more USB thumbdrives than rewritable optical discs used daily, but again: I want MY choice in this matter, given MY perfect track record. equal chance of malware or viruses given the rewritable nature of the media. Personally I don't get why a thumbdrive can't auto run an executable, and a CD-rw or DVD-rw can. I don't need Microsoft to "hold my hand" when it comes to protection from programs that launch upon insertion of MY USB thumbdrive.

I WANT to take the risk, and I should have an option of re-enabling full Autorun/Autoplay support for MY convenience.

I have a thumbdrive I WANT to EXECUTE an Executable from EVERY time I insert it into MY Computers. Not only that, Microsoft PUNISHES smart users for dumb users' mistakes.Įg: BLOCKING Autorun.inf from Executing a file of MY CHOICE!!!
