Hi Ricci, That really depends on your environment. I know for a fact that you can craft an autorun program in Windows 9x (Probably ME too) that will run with the credentials of the logged-on user and will execute even while the computer is "locked" in screensaver. I can confirm it works with CDROMs and USB disks. Seems like MS would have disabled it in 2k/XP though, not to mention the servers.
