Kram Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Hello and thank you all for contributing to this topic. I've been searching for some time now for a solution to my objective and have stumbled upon this, hoping someone here can offer me some guidance. In summary I want to achieve two things. a ) run an autorun.inf from a USB Flash stick. b ) create a CDFS on a USB Flash stickSome time ago I bought a USB Flash and it had what looked like a CDFS 'partition' that contained some apps that auto ran when the device was plugged into a PC. (actually that CDFS area was also protected so the user couldn't fiddle in there). So as I know it's not possible to just have an autorun.inf run when the device is plugged in, I was thinking that if I could create a CDFS that is seen by the PC as a CDRom drive it would solve my problem. One main consideration is that I need to create that environment from within my VB app so it is transparent to the user. In other words the user would click a button in the app to "Install to USB" and my app would do or run whatever is needed to be done to format the USB device, create the CDFS and I would then copy my files to that CDFS area.Any help on this would be greatly appreciatedthanks in advance Edited March 10, 2011 by Kram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
