If you are going to use these folders (recycle, recycler, recycled, setup) in your removable drives, you just need to do the same procedure as you did in "autorun.inf" folder. These folders are just optional because there are only some (not all) of the worm malwares are using these folders to hide themselves. However, I don't recommend the use of these optional folders in your system drive (usually drive C) because the Windows OS is also using the folders recycler and recycled for backup purposes of the deleted files. Thanks Andre for the nice feedback you provided. =) Hi Diego and Supermutt,

The lines you should run would be: cacls recycle /c /d administrators cacls recycler /c /d administrators cacls recycled /c /d administrators cacls setup /c /d administrators I think the author just forgot to mention it :] Yes, you should also run the cacls command to the other folders you created.

What about the folders recycle, recycler, recycled and setup ? Should they have procedure done with them as autorun.inf, or just left alone ? If they are just left alone, why is that ? diego_moicano got a good question there.
