Autorun on USB pendrive. Is possible?

[micmic]

I've read it is.

With XP SP2... But how to enable it?

[Rhelic]

I don't know why MS doesn't enable this, because if you believe it's a possible security hole, the issue is no different for CD (anybody can create an infected CD now-a-days).

This app enables AutoRun on Win98 and I think it adds autorun to your USB too

(I found this from http://www.udrw.com/tour/en/dev/support.php )

Another free solution is (probably bloatware)

There was a very long discussion on this issue at:

Lesson learned, ask Google your question before you ask a forum

P.S. and the last link in the experts exchange reference Rhelic found is VERY good:

I've found its the same as a CD just create a autorun.inf file and place it in the root of the usb stick.

do it the same way as u do a cd and u can also change the icons like u can a cd...
