   WTF? Guest users can no longer mount a U

   Hey all, first post here. I noticed some very bizarre behavior with   
   the most recent slew of MS patches from August 14th. Prior to the   
   August 14th updates, Guest users of our lab computers could plug in a   
   USB drive, have XP (SP2, fully patched to July 2007) recognize it, and   
   it be accessible from Explorer or My Computer. After the August   
   updates were applied, it now asks from a username and password of an   
   account that has Admin rights. This never did this before so I am   
   wondering what the hell is going on. Event Viewer shows nothing, it's   
   not a Group Policy setting as nothing has changed on the Local Policy.   
   If I give Admin rights to the Guest account it does work but that is   
   obviously not an option. Anyone got any insight or clue as to what's   
   going on or how to remedy this (other than uninstalling the patches).   
   Thanks for any tips.
