how can I disable autorun from a storage card?
I have a Dell Axim X30. When I insert a storage card with a file 2577\autorun.exe it automatically executes that program. I am worried this is a bit of a security problem, I want to be able to check what's on a card before I execute it. How can I disable this feature? I haven't been able to find anything to indicate where this feature can be turned off.

Well, PPCs will always turn on (if they're off) and check the contents of any Flash Media inserted, if they're already on, you just don't notice this process.

And since the file is an autorun.exe file, (and I'm just guessing here) during that check, since it is both autorun and an .exe file...........well, it's just doing what it's been told to do.

And, also, it cannot be disabled. It is a necessary process so the PPC can keep itself up-to-date.
