how can I run a program on a flash drive when it is inserted (autorun)?

Question

I have a program that will run from the Flash drive (PIM). I would like it to run whenever I insert the flashdrive in the computer.

Answer 1

Make a file called autorun.inf and place it on the root (top) directory of the flash drive. Add the following:

[autorun]
open=autorun.exe

Replace autorun.exe with the file you want to open.

You can also add:
icon=icon.ico

Replace icon.ico with the path to the icon file you want to use.

Answer 2

Create a plain text file that will be named autorun.inf
Then replace the "XXX"'s with your particular case.

[AutoRun]
Open=XXX.exe
Icon=YYY.ico

Where XXX.exe is the program you want to start automatically.
And YYY.ico is the icon file for the CD (optional)

Save this autorun.inf file in the root of your flashdrive.

If the computer has autorun enabled, it should start. (still, I think it has to have autorun enabled for all drives, not just cd/dvd's).

Answer 3

try autorun.inf.. copy this: [AutoRun]
open=CD_Start.exe
icon=CD.ico
into a textfile and name it autorun.inf and then save it to the flash drive
