Ive noticed that windows handles autorun for removable storage devices a bit differently from cd-roms in the fact that you can turn off autorun for cdroms but leave it on for removable devices and vice-versa.

well.. im trying to make an autorun.inf for my usb drive to launch a program when its inserted. Now I know autorun is enabled for removable drives on the pc im testing this on cause the windows xp autorun box pops up every time I plug it in.

Does anyone know if I have to do anything special to get this to work? Has anyone successfully gotten it to work?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Just came across this freeware utility today after my Lexar USB drive failed--it runs actively in the system tray (consumes little system resources) and the setup wizard makes it easy to launch nearly any file or script. Here's the link:
