I have read the other topics and I still can't get it to work, currently I have:
[Autorun]
UseAutoPlay=1
Open=.\AutoRun.exe
icon=StartPortableApps.exe
Label=Keith's Flash Drive
Action=Start PortableApps
It works, because it's renamed to Keith's Flash Drive, but it still doesn't load the application.
Got any ideas?

Could you tell us what you are expecting to happen, and what is actually happening?
Because normal behaviour, for a system configured as you describe, would be to NOT run anything when you plug the drive in, but to include the app that you specify in the autoplay popup window.
I have gotten it to work! I looked at the FAQ and it told me how to fix it and it worked. I didn't even know there was a FAQ. Thanks!
Yay!
Can you tell us which entry in the FAQ it was?

Yep, sure.
