This is an idea that ive seen some apps do, Essentially the idea is that the Platform "auto runs" when the USB in plugged in. im curious if this is possible?

CSearcher

Submitted by hugonabais on December 24, 2016 - 10:26am

To search files, I always used windows explorer but it was slow, sometimes it did not return all the expected results, and it uses lots of RAM.
I tried some freeware non-indexing searchers but some were slow, and others did not have all the features I wanted.
So since I develop some application in my work I decided to create my own portable program: CSearcher.
CSearcher is a simple & fast free non-indexing search program.
Since I’ve been using it I gave it to some colleagues at work and they gave me same good feedback.

Hi! This is my second forum post here now.

Yesterday when I posted the Scratch Portable, I thought I would have to spend ages on turning tons of more softwares into portable ones. However, after thinking that, I had an idea. A piece of software that turns any program into a portable program. I named it the Portable App Compiler (or Portablizer for short). It is currently really basic, and might never get any updates, but it gets the job done.

The CheckForPlatformSplashDisable function included with multiple custom launchers needs a minor update for NSIS 3.0 due to the fact it being standard NSIS and not NSIS Unicode anymore. The updated function for use with Firefox, Thunderbird, etc is posted here:
