This policy works great but I have a problem. My users want the Autorun to
come up when USB Flash drives or camras are installed and now it wont work
unless i disable the policy. any help???
 
Hm, haven't heard of this before. Generally, Autorun is a feature you should
disable. It's great for five-year-olds, because they then don't need your
help finding the icon to start the game on the CD-ROM. But in a corporate
setting I always recommend disabling it on all drives through group policy.
If you leave Autorun enabled, then all those USB drives people find
littering your parking lot could become the next vector for infecting your
computers with malware: http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=95556

I agree, it is a security hole and I dont like it but users (lazy
management) would like to have the auorun feature there. I can see it it is
enabled but just wont come up it the policy is enabled or if the reg key is
changed. I Just dont get it.
