[Solved] autorun on USB key ?

[hcI]

Hi everyone !

I'm repearing some PC in my city and I would like to know if there a way to make my AutoIt .exe run automatically when I plug my USB stick in the PC...

I heard about Autorun.inf with the following code inside :

[AutoRun]
shellexecute=program.exe

but it don't work except Windows telling me to analyze the key when I plug it..

And please, administrator/moderator, don't remove my post this is not a troll topic.

If someone have an answer to my question.

Why would you make this statement?

What is the exact message you get when plugging it in?

PS: In general USB settings are such that you don't want to autoexecute any program anymore these days with the risk of getting infected by a virus when plugging in a USB thumbdrive.

@hcI this may not be a "troll topic", but it has been asked and answered numerous times (you would see this if you used that nifty forum search function). In essence, the AutoRun function is disabled by default in newer Windows Operating Systems. You would have to enable the function first, before you can use it.

Because last time a I really had a question about a program (can't remember what it was exactly) and the topic were closed because the admin said "troll topics are not allowed on this AutoIt forum" but it wasn't one !

Hum.. I'm french so the message is in french but it says something like

"Would you like to analyse the USB key and repear it ?" and i have to choose between "Analyse and repear" or "Don't analyse (not recommended)"

Oh sorry i searched on internet but the only topic that i got was 3~5 years old so i thinked that Windows made maybe a patch/update about that..

Bullshit! This is what you typed and that clearly isn't something serious:

Hello everyone !

Me and my friend, send challenges to each others.

And they asked me to do a little code that set randomly the opacity of the first window in WinLis

so..  stop crying as you can't complain about the support you have received so far from us.
(As I told you in the past: I am Dutch and we tend not to beat around the bush!)

hcI,

When I locked your thread to which Jos refers above, I did not say:

Quote

troll topics are not allowed on this AutoIt forum

but:

Quote

We do not support "spoof" or joke scripts

which your request most certainly was. An apology might be in order......

[hcI]

Okay Okay, I really apologize. I just.. didn't explained very well and that's how I took it at the moment and couldn't remember exactly what was the exact sentence.

But know that just, without this challenge that I receveid from my friends, i still like to learn about programming, so closing my topic because it isn't a serious problem.. hum.. i don't ask you to, but you could help, spoof or not, (i think) it's intrusting to learn to people who don't have the knowledge that you have...

I apologize again.

I hear that excuse so often: "Even if it is against your rules, you should encourage someone trying to learn to script". Such a crock; if you're insistent on using a language for something that will hurt its reputation, the community that supports that language is generally better off without you. That goes for any language, not just AutoIt.

hcl,

Apology accepted - thank you. But I am entirely in agreement with the sentiments expressed by JLogan3o13 above: our forum, our rules and we will enforce them.

Encourage is not the exact word, but i understand anyway.

Yes, I know and like you probably know, a lot of people don't read the full rules (now i feel targeted and it's my fault), and it's by making mistakes that we learn.

I'm sorry and don't want to set anyone in trouble or annoy you, @Jos, @JLogan3o13, @Melba23.

We just like things to be crystal clear.
moving on...
