Hi all

I wanna run my application directly from a Flash Disk.

I want it AUTORUN once the device is attached.
I have seen some virus script-programs which create their own autoruns
on a specific Flash Disk device.

It would be very thankful If anyone could tell me about it.

Thanks in advance ...

Just create an autorun.inf and it'll launch whatever program you specify.

Nope not from a flash disk or USB device

see this link http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devic...age/usbfaq.mspx for
full details

Q: What must I do to trigger Autorun on my USB storage device?
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. A RMB of one indicates that the
device is a removable media device. Drivers obtain this information by using
the StorageDeviceProperty request.

For more information about the SCSI Inquiry command, see the T10 committee
located at http://www.t10.org.

For more information about the StorageDeviceProperty, see the
STORAGE_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR storage structure in the Windows DDK, located at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...e656e9a.xml.asp.

For more information on Autorun.inf files see the "Creating an
AutoRun-Enabled Application" article located at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d....asp?frame=true.
