Frickin' hotmail has mangled that - it should be
open cmd line, type attrib -h -r -s recycler and hit enter and replace with autorun.inf to remove autorun virus. Also just to be clear i'm talking about ISIS not Unity so it may not be the same for you but at least the info's out there. UNITY will just delete anything is that right? That always scares the shit out of me!

> it's a virus. The main problem with this virus is that the files recreate themselves and as you need to have a completely clear workspace to delete it, it means you will find that you can't delete workspaces once you're done with them. They are hidden files but you can reveal them and delete them through the command line as follows;

> I noticed that some if not all of the unity workspaces I access projects from have an autorun.inf on the surface. Curious what the purpose is for that. I'm familiar with autoruns that happen when you mount a drive but I've been on macs for a while now so I haven't dealt with them. Is this just a generic pc disk thing or something that unity is creating. I seem to recall autorun.inf files were not on Terrablock volumes but when they got on a few it was do to a virus not the system. Not having any problem but would like to understand better.
