Hi all.

I ahve a USB stick. Now I want to make so if I plug it in, it will run a batch file automatically, like it does when you put in an installation CD. Anyone knows how I can do this?

Take care,
Mr Z.

It might be more useful to him if the results weren't in French.

All you need is an autorun.inf file. Google it as I don't remember exactly what you need to put in it.

No idea whether it runs off of USB sticks though (Is autorun implemented for all volume types?)

EDIT:

Although they're really easy to write, http://autorun.moonvalley.com/ does the job nicely too

Convenient that the link has a GB in it instead of FR then.

The link does actually appear in French even with en-GB set

Must be a problem with your sound card then. Update your printer drivers.

It was not in French when I clicked the link. It was in English.
