Last query for now hopefully!
I was trying to disable autorun for my external drive, but could only find the entry for cd rom and floppy in the registry.
I followed the steps to do the procedure for external/removable media, but the values did not match, apparentley the values should ne 95 0 0 0 for auto run and 91 0 0 0 to turn it off. Is this correct, because when i followed the steps, I was presented with the value 1, as if was a floppy drive. Will my external have a particular name in the registry?
I also noticed the folder under the folder microsoft going into:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
was a folder called "microsf" (yes without the t) is this a genuine entry?
The autorun concern is after reading the post on here, I just want to prevent further issues as my system had been infected recently, and my external was connected when I was heavily infected, and something was picked up in the autorun folder, but not sure if it was a FP. All good now though it seems.
Regards
