Can I autorun the Portable Apps program without having to click on the Windows Autorun?

Hi,

Is there any way that I can configure my USB drive so that when I plug it in the Portable Apps program autoruns and opens up the apps menu without me having to do anything or open the program from the Windows autorun box that pops up every time?

Thanks


yes/no

There is a solution but it only works on your own machine as you need to place a file in your autorun folder to make it work.
If you are on a library/internet cafe/friend's PC, you'll have to start it by hitting enter once the autorun box pops up. On Win Vista/7, autorun is disabled so you'll have to click your way through the folders.
