[Noisebridge-discuss] usb 'dead drops' at noisebridge?

[Micah Lee]

In Windows you can disable autoplay. I think the process is slightly
different for Windows XP as it is for Vista/7, and I think it involves
changing a registry value.

You should definitely disable it if you're going to be plugging in
unknown USB drives to your computer. It's like a USB condom.

There's plenty to google, but this might get you started.
