My Autorun System

Submitted by teetwo on September 22, 2011 - 6:55pm

I created my Autorun system to start applications on a inserted drive. I made it as a executable not loaded with Windows. An icon on the desktop to the executable is activated prior to any drive being inserted. A file Action.txt replaces Autorun.inf.

Anyway it is free and what I use to autostart just about anything when a drive is inserted. The program aborts after it does its job ready for the next drive.
Download at http://autorun.inkmon.org. A readme explanation is included.

Wrong Java if QT installed, possible alert

Submitted by Wm ... on September 18, 2011 - 9:14am

Don't know if anyone has noticed this happen (I did have search) before but FF has been using the wrong Java here.

Background: looking at a performance issue I found FF Portable was using
C:\PROGRA~1\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
rather than something under
\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java

Uninstalling QT left remnants in the XP registry like
QTJAVA=C:\PROGRA~1\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
that needed to be tidied by hand and eye.

FF and similar apps that rely on Java are much happier now.

Possible suggestion for discussion and comment:
