[Offtopic] USB drive manager

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I must compare it with the one we are using, :-) I suspect yours works
across different users on the same computer.

Turning off autorun.inf is good .. We moved our CDROM drive letters to X: on
our college network to free up as many drive letters as we can at the lower
end for USB devices etc.
