The possibility to autostart an autorun.inf from the USB device is very convenient. That simple fact leads many to use APO USB Autorun regardless, or even totally unaware, of the very obvious risks. USB Autorun starts the autorun.inf, even if you block all autostarts from USB devices in the registry and/or press the Shift key when plugging in the USB device. I do like APO USB Autorun, but as it is a security risk I normally don't have it running on my computer. My son wrote a little application and put it on an USB stick, together with an autorun.inf. With USB Autorun running he plugged the stick into my computer, and it copied my WAB file to the USB stick. If you are aware of the risks, APO USB Autorun is a very nice tool. But don't allow it to autostart and don't have it running in the background, especially not when you leave your computer unattended!

Every jump drive should have this software already on the unit.
