I have an AIT script on a flash drive, is there a way to make it so when I stick in the flash drive, it will automatically run a program?

Thanks in advnace!

Quote from Microsoft.com:

What must I do to trigger Autorun on my USB storage device?

The Autorun capabilities are restricted to CD-ROM drives and fixed disk drives. If you need to make a USB storage device perform Autorun, the device must not be marked as a removable media device and the device must contain an Autorun.inf file and a startup application.

Welcome r1ddl3r,

You could create a script that can scan the drives for the particular file with a unique name used to run. Look at the Drive* functions. You could use an inf, like a cdrom does and have a unique section name that alerts of it as a USB drive.

Some freeware programs that does make a USB drive autorun, to use as an example.

APO USB Autorun

BusRunner

All of them say it will look for an Autorun.inf file, how or where could I get that?

Create it. It's just a text file with an inf extension, so create a new text file, name it Autorun.inf, and edit it.

My question is, how do I edit it and what would I put in it? Sorry to pester you guys, but I am fairly new to AutoIt.

That was what I was looking for.

Here is a helper program for creating an autorun.inf file. As neogia shows, it is just a simple ini file format.

IASScript 1.84
