    The simple command to delete it is

    rmdir /S /Q \\.\%drv%\autorun.inf

    no need to type lpt3, con etc. just use RMDIR command it will remove the folder and it’s subfolder. And some autorun folder couldn’t delete this command coz some other disinfectanct uses this command. So if this doesn’t work here is the second trick.

    rmdir /S /Q %drv%\autorun.inf

    If the folder still exist uninstall any USB anti-viruses like zhengbo or what they called USB Shit Security!

    Note: You have to set the read-only and system to negative.
