I was wondering if it is possible to make programs autorun on a USB flash drive like a CD does.
I have searches the internet and all I found was some X-autorun program which didn't work for me, I think it only works for their products.
I don't know all the specifics about this flash drive but it has 32mb, it is my friends so I can ask him if you all need the specifics.
what are you trying to autorun??
If you are using XP, you should be able to tell Windows that whenever that device connects, that you want it to do a certain action.
Failing that, you could look up the CD method and try that.

Basically, you have to set it up like a CD and tell Windows that it is NOT a removable device somehow.

"The AutoRun capabilities are restricted to CD-ROM drives and fixed disk drives. If you need to make a USB storage device perform AutoRun, the device must not be marked as a removable media device and the device must contain an autorun.inf file and a startup application.
The removable media device setting is a flag contained within the SCSI Inquiry Data response to the SCSI Inquiry command. Bit 7 of byte 1 (indexed from 0) is the Removable Media Bit (RMB). A RMB set to zero indicates that the device is not a removable media device. An RMB of one indicates that the device is a removable media device. Drivers obtain this information by using the StorageDeviceProperty request.
