Removing Autorun.Inf is very easy

No need to have windows bootable cd and no need to in regedit everytime you have intorun.inf file in your harddrive. It is generic problem when we connect removable usb flash drives. It doesnt open by double clicking on the 'removable drive' icon in my computer.

I suggest you to install Editplus in your system. It can be found on internet in hardly few Kb's. After installing open it and select the removable disk drive from dropdown list appears at left hand side. It shows number of files contained in that drive. select Autorun.Inf and delete it. make sure you are deleting file not directory by right clicking on 'Autorun.Inf' and saying delete/remove the file.

That's it. now remove the flash/pen drive and reinsert. It will work. Some people suggest to insert xp cd and do lengthy steps or just deleting through command prompt using some cmd syntax. I found this easy method to remove Autorun.Inf file.
