thing to think about, but we should be the thinking about OTHER types
of CD's too.

If someone goes out, buys a game($$$), comes home and puts it in the
drive, they want to run it, and they want to RUN IT NOW! They don't
want to be asked and they don't want to be prompted.
They want it to go 100 miles per hour, and double in speed every
minute!

And for other(normal ;)) people, it should be easy to disable. (Just
like every time I had to reformat MS 98. One of the first things I
would always do is disable autorun.)
