Then best thing is to boot into Safe Mode and then goto command prompt and c hange to that drive
and type:

C ode:
attrib -a -s -h -r autorun.inf

*then*

C ode:
del autorun.inf

Re: How to delete autorun.inf with command prompt

If some process is using it then kill that process and del it . . Unlocker can do that . .
