Autorun in screensaver

Hello All,

I'm conducting a security assessment and suddenly I got an interesting
question. When I inserted an USB hard disk with screensaver turned on, I
can see that my hard disk has been enabled and autoplay must have been
executed. However, can an autorun program be executed when screensaver
turned on? Is there any way that I can make the autorun executed even with
screensaver turned on?

Please advise.

Thx.

Ricci
