Hey guys
Im working on creating a batch file to open my USB drive whenever i run it.
I dont want it to run AUTOMATICALLY as soon as i stick my usb in though.
I was thinking along the lines of the name of the USB.
So if i had named my USB "SpeedyUSB" it can open it.
I have some code so far that will open a certain drive letter if that drive letter is in use, this is my code:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "E:\"
This opens E:\ in explorer (not Internet Explorer, just a normal window like My Music etc)
Now how do i do the same thing using my USB drive's name so that no matter what USB drive letter it has, it will always open?
Any help much appreciated,
Speedy

lol very crude but I am not a batch coder ...
Even with your proposed method you still need the help of Autorun.inf other wise what your proposing will not work

thanks for the suggestion.

can anyone point me to a site where fairly experienced batch coders may go?
no offense but i just want to ask a professional as well.
Here's where I go:
self.path = path if self.path == None else self.path
