Deleting autorun.inf and other trojans in pendrive

recently i scanned my pendrive for viruses and trojans using mcafee.mcafee couldnt remove one file winnthb.exe which remained in pendrive. however i knew another method.

i started cmd.exe in vista home premium.

removed system and hidden properties of the files of the removable drive and then deleted the file. :)

click on start ,then run—type cmd and press enter.you can see command prompt pop up.

f:                           (removable drive —->flash drive or pen drive)

f:>attrib -s -h -r  (removes superhidden property so that it becomes a regular file)

f:> dir                    (to find list of files )

f>del filename.extension

that is all.file gets deleted.

i thought of building a windows application to eliminate the process of using the commands.but i am stuck at deleting few autorun.inf files. i am getting unauthorisedaccessexception error,have to figure out the way soon.

edit: got through the tough part ,want some deadly pen drive viruses now. :)

will continue….

update: my simple application is ready to download .please report any bugs if any.
