Exactly.

Limited Google results? That's because nobody is calling the darn 
things by the same name.  Memory stick, usb stick, flash drive, flash 
stick, usb flash, memory drive, usb drive... you get the idea.  Some 
people are saying it's a virus or worm, along with whatever they 
think their usb drive is called.  :)  So the words you used to find 
posts on this subject might not be turning up what I found.

The regedit thing doesn't work.  I tried that months ago.
