Hey Guys and Gals

I know we have some real clever people in here so Im asking a none PS releted question.

I received a flash drive today from a motor company and when I inserted the drive into my laptop there web page automaticaly opened in my browser.

Now I thought that was so cool I showed my boss...yep ypu got it now he wants me to find out how it is done and if we can copy the same idea.

I am not a coder so I do not have a clue but Im sure some one out there knows how I can set this up as a test on a blank flash drive.

So any answrs would be welcomed.

Thanks Guys and Gals.

It is done by making an .inf file in your root usb flash drive. Can give this site a look and have to also use WebLaunch program on your drive as well.
Hope this is what you are looking for.

It might be of interest but autorun does not work in Windows 7, (security, duh!) so I would not invest to much time on this. Code for this can be found on

Never show bosses anything! Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing
