USB Drive Autorun
I have been hunting for a good way to get a USB Flash Drive to autorun when inserted into a computer. The ideal solution would work just as a CD’s autorun (ie work with all versions of Windows and MacOS). Given my time constraint I was only able to locate a solution that works 100% with Windows Vista.
If anyone has a link to the Holy Grail of USB Flash Drive Autorun please comment below
Here is what I used
(used it to autorun a Flash Windows Projector file):
Create an Autorun.inf file and place it at the root of your flash drive along with your program files.
[AutoRun]
OPEN=YourProgram.exe
ICON=YourProgramFileWithIcon.exe
ACTION=Message that is displayed
LABEL=Drive Label
Here is the link where most the info I used was found.
