Is it NECESSARY to have the shellexecute command in an autorun.inf file? I know it might be stupid question, but right now I've got an autorun.inf file on a USB stick pointing to an executable malware, so I'd much rather just do without it. All help is appreciated

Never mind, I've sorted it now, bit the bullet and removed the "shellexecute" line, and the usb still runs fine. Now it just opens up its folder automatically when plugged into a computer. Any tips/links on how to make it do something else, like open up a dialog box and ask what the user wants to do :-p
