Removable Storage Card Security (PPC Only)

Removable storage card security provides enhanced protection from viruses and malicious applications/code that can be spread through portable storage units, such as disks and MultiMedia Cards (MMCs). For example, if this policy is turned on and an MMC is inserted into the device, files can be copied from the MMC to the device. However executable files that exist on the MMC, and files that may contain viruses will not run on the device. The AutoRun security policy enforces this protection. For more information, see Security Policy Settings.

The AutoRun security policy setting determines whether applications stored on an MMC are allowed to run automatically when inserted into the device.

Note   Using files on an MMC is not a valid method for provisioning Pocket PC.
