I am sorry if this has already been posted, but I have read many different answers on how to do this, and I want a specific, clear answer.
I was wondering if there is any way that I can get the PortableApps Menu to start automatically when I plug in my USB Flash Drive, like the U3 platform does. When I installed the Menu, the file autostart.inf changed my drive name to PORTABLEAPPS (G:), so I deleted it. I do not know if that stopped it from running, but is there any other way to have it AutoStart?

Autorun.inf makes a dialog come up asking what you would like to run.
There is absolutely no way to have the menu come up automatically without that.

Is it possible to have the PAM automatically start with the autorun.inf?

If you use the autorun that came with PAM, the only thing you have to do is to hit the "ERNTER" key when the autorun window pops up.

I found this in another post.
[Autorun]
Open=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
Action=Start PortableApps
Icon=PortableApps\Icons\USB.ico
Label=MyDrive
I don't know if this will help at all, I know that it will change your drive name to whatever you want it to be, which I had a problem with. I am going to reinstall PA and see if this works now.
