Autorun.inf does not work

That is a great idea, to run clamwin. I never thought of doing that, as all the computers I plug into usually have virus protections up to date and running, and I never take stuff in, I just port stuff out of my usb.

I couldn't resist adding a bit to this, since it seemed like such a great idea.

Here's my Autorun.inf:

[Autorun]
Open=Autorun.bat
Icon=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
Label=PortableApps
Action=Start PortableApps
Shell\Read1\Command=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe

Shell\Read2\Command=PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe

Shell\Read3\Command=PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\ThunderbirdPortable.exe
Shell\Read3=Start &Thunderbird Portable

and here's the Autorun.bat that goes with it: [Line wraps marked » - RM]

--memory with a *.bat, what a simple but great idea --works like a charme

Thanks ZAP

Windows has another key for USBs I think, but it's a per-computer setting. That's the best you can get without modifying the key on every computer.
