Hi, my work have asked me to arrange for a USB to be filled with some files and a html page (with hyperlinks to the different files) to be automatically loaded when the USB is inserted.

The code I have found to be used is by creating an autorun.inf file and using the following code;

[autorun]open=filename.extlabel=usbname

This isn't working (except for the label commant, this renames the name of the USB) , but I have had no success loading a file that is within the USB root directory - Any suggestions of achieving my brief would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,Ryan

Ryan,First, you probably want your filename.ext to be filename.ex*e*
Second, is autorun disabled on the machine you are using it on?
Third, if you are testing on a Mac, you're out of luck. Mac's don't like autorun.

4) Now save and name the file: Autorun.inf 5) Add this file to the root of the USB Flash Drive, with the file you want to AutoRun (and any other data). This AutoRun method works with products supplied by Flashbay.com however may not work with products purchased elsewhere. Step for block or Disable USB Port on Mac, MacBook: OS X EI Capitan, Yosemite. Step 1: Launch Finder from spotlight search on Mac. Step 2: Next, Go to the top menu option Go Go to Folder. Enter below system folder path for directly jump there.

Thanks Andrew,

I just used ext (short for extension) as an example - I have actually created an index.html - so my actual code reads;

[autorun]open=index.htmllabel=PlantPRO

I have tried on XP, Windows 7 and on a MAC - No luck on any!

Bad news. More research shows this isn't possible anymore. Windows no longer allows autorun

That's a bummer! Outlook 2016 sync settings. I guess I will just place a html file in the root directory saying 'start here' or something and use links within that to launch various applications/files
