Hi,

My B1/B2 visa for the US was issued on 03 November, 2008 and the B1/B2 visa expires on 02 November, 2018. My F-1 Student visa was issued on 03 Jun 2009 and the F-1 visa expires on 18 May 2014. Presently I am not enrolled in that University as I dropped out so I cannot use the F-1 visa to travel. My question was that can I travel to the US on the B1/B2 visa for a short trip?
 
It is based on discretion of the consul. My sister's husband once had a a J-1 visa issued to him while his passport had a valid B-2 visa. The consul was aware of the B-2 visa (he was the one who issued it 6 months earlier) but never cancelled it.

I thought it was automatic in the system whether or not the actual visa is marked.

That's news to me. Pretty cool. I was always under the impression that one could only be in possession of 1 valid visa at any given time.
