The 'autorun.inf' is a system file. So you need to make the settings to 'Show' hidden files and system files, in order to see that file.

That is a very good explanation of the auto run feature and how windows opens the file without you knowing .Especially if you are using a fileshare ,care is needed when transferring from one pc to another , if , as I do ,you use your old outdated laptop for the share so as not to keep infecting your main pc (which you use for credit card details and such).. Worst I have found is avg 8 finding viruses and disabling them , when they are not , like the alexa ie6 toolbar!

I think this is only a temporary solution, when we use thumbdrive, then copy and paste activity won't be avoided, and nothing can guarantee that file are virus free.
The only solution for this problem IMHO, is using virus free system, either using Windows with a lot of, updated virus database or using Linux.
I'm using Linux for almost 3 years, and never been infected with any virus at all and the side effect is my resource didn't ate by that monstrous anti virus app :D

Many cybercafes in my neighbourhood dont even allow customers to plug in USB drives. Your suggestion to disable the autorun feature sounds excellent. I hope cybercafes would do that and allow customers to use USBs.
