    USB Flash Drive Autorun help!

    Hey,

    I want to autorun a HTML page when my usb drive is inserted into any Windows based PC (namely XP.. possibly Vista). I've tried several different software programs to try and create this effect but with all just writing poor autorun files with a few lines I could of written manually!

    ..I know by default XP doesn't allow auto-run(ing) of programs files and instead brings up the dialogue menu giving the user the option. It seems most promotional flash drives with autorun features seem to have a separate partition which emulates a CD drive.. any advice on best way of going about this method?

    Any help would be great!
    This is what I have so far:
    A autorun.inf file containing :-
    Code:
    [autorun]
    action=Insight into Pendrive
    shellexecute=index.html
    icon=icon.ico
    label=Flash Drive
    shell\support=&Visit my Website for Support
    shell\support\command=support.bat
    ;action=Open Program
    Thanks,
    Lewis

    Give AutorunPro a go for creating the .inf for HTML (don't think you can launch an HTML file directly from the autorun.inf).

    Whether it will work for a flash drive or not, I don't know, but you'd expect Windows would be sensible enough to know.
