Welcome to Sevenforums.

Autorunning any external usb device is an invitation to viruses and malware.

Malware writers are clever about infecting an autorun.inf file and then just waiting for you to reinsert the stick so that the infected file runs.

I strongly advise against auto running.

Actually the only thing you would want popping up when first plugging in any flash drive is seen by the av protection you have installed on the system in order to scan the flash drive. I plug various flash drives in here and once a drive letter is assigned through the Disk Management tool following a reformat to NTFS for some I don't expect to see anything else.

karlsnooks is quite correct on the vulnerability of the autorun.inf as well as the possible spread of bugs when transferring files between more then one system without any safety umbrella inplace. With the increased use of flash drives being seen the risk of infecting one more machine is evident when passing contaminated files along.

thanx! im really so happy 2 get replays i've been waiting for a solution for that so im satisfied now that autoplay is not that much good,thanxxxxxx ^^

This is ABSOLUTELY correct.
