This has happened automatically in cases where autorun was enabled, as it did in default on older versions of Windows until a change pushed by Microsoft. Note that in recent Linux distributions autorun is typically disabled for security reasons. You will find that it has even been disabled in Windows since XP service pack 2. In regards to Linux autorun security implications, one known exploit took advantage of a now patched flaw in GNOME Evince document viewer. The exploit made it possible to insert a USB stick with modified code into an Ubuntu PC to get rid of a screensaver without entering a password and display the user’s desktop. Clarification - On both Windows and Linux currently, post autorun vulnerability awareness these OS behave in a way as not to automatically execute a program, but still poll the drive and prompt the user for action. Disabling autorun is not the same as disabling drive polling, the second being a deeper level modification. == Temporarily Disable Auto Insert Notification and Autorun Behavior ==== Linux Specific ==In Linux autorun automagically recognises all available CDROMs in your system, mounts them upon insertion and executes a possible 'autorun' executable on the CD. To allow an ordinary user to do this you have to add the options user,exec in /etc/fstab to the CDROMs you want to use. There is also Autorun.desktop for KDE. [[Category:Linux]]
