Security Basics: RE: Basic Windows Security Question

["David Gillett" <gillettdavid () fhda edu>]

  I think we're overdue for a "don't permit code
execution from removable R/W devices" OS security 
policy entry.  Doesn't matter whether it's a floppy, 
a thumb drive, a USB/firewire hard drive....
  (The 'R/W' qualifier is to allow autorun CDs to be
handled separately.)
