How to disable Autorun from SD/CF storage cards?
The simplest way to get rid of autorun from storage cards (SD/CF) is to put a dummy readonly application named autorun.exe into the \Windows folder.
Why will this work?
When an storage card is inserted, autorun.exe is copied from the storage card root folder to \Windows folder and then it is executed which may be resposible in showing some annoying user interface. By putting a readonly dummy execuatble with the same name, OS won't overwrite it with the copy from the storage card. It will just run the dummy autorun.exe which will do nothing.

I tested this method and it is not working. In fact, in WM 5.0, there is a autorun folder in Windows folder. It seems the autorun is copied to this folder, not the Windows folder. I put my own read-only autorun.exe in both Windows folder and the autorun folder. The autorun from the card still runs when I plugged it in.
Let me know if you think something I did wrong.
