Autorun: would be nice if after inserting the device it asks whether to launch autorun.inf or not

It's always a pain to prevent running autorun.inf in Windows. This is true in particular for new USB drives inserted for the first time.

I probably haven't be very clear about the requested feature.

- Windows cannot be trusted.

- Disabling autorun.inf is cumbersome if not impossible for normal user. Autoplay is less problematic.

- It's not clear it would work for ANY (by this I mean drives not known yet by the computer) device plugged into the USB slot. I want to be sure autorun.in is intercepted before Windows.

- This should be extended to setup.*, install.* and all processes that can be automatically started when inserting the device.
