Autostart USB drive when inserted
Is there a way to setup a program to autostart and run when a USB drive
is inserted to a computer? I found a way but it requires software to be pre-loaded on a pc. I want to purchase a large quantity of drives and burn them with an image and distribute. When inserted I want my program to autorun. |

Don't know if it would work, but have you tried using an autorun.inf file
(similiar to a CD)? wrote in message oups.com... Is there a way to setup a program to autostart and run when a USB drive is inserted to a computer?

yes, use autorun.inf, just like in the CD.
create and place a file named "autorun.inf" into the USB drive. open the autorun.inf file using notepad, and type this inside: [AutoRun] open=abcde.exe Note: assuming your program in named "abcde.exe" While it usually autorun in Windows 2000 and XP, there is a possibility that it won't run, too. Like my computer, I disabled the autorun, to prevent viruses to autorun when I insert foreign usb or CD drives. "Dave B" ditulis dalam berita ...
