Trouble getting Autorun to work

[dangerdogL2121]

I have been trying to get a program to autorun if a put a flash containing it into a computer. On the flashdrive I have Autorun.inf the program and an icon. Autorun's text is this:

Code: Select all

[Autorun]
Open=ahk1.exe
Action=Run ahk1
Icon=icon1.ico

Nothing is autorun when flash drive is put into the computer. It looks the same as before autorun.inf was made.
I have tried everything, making sure ahk1 and icon1 exist in root folder. I've made sure Autorun.inf is in root folder. I have tried different cases(CAPITAL vs. lowercase). No luck. It feels like I'm forgetting something important.
thanks

Autorunning programs doesn't work in windows 7.

It's a security feature of post-XP windows releases. I am not sure whether it wasn't also in XP. Windows simply won't start content without user wanting so. It will always ask you.

Ok, but doesn't that mean I should get something asking for autorun every time I insert the flash drive? It acts as if there is no autorun on the flash drive at all.

I get something that looks like this


They I click on "Open folder to view files" and the folder opens. There is nothing asking me to run ahk1. Shouldn't there be something asking to autorun?
thanks

is there any script that can bypass this AutoRun anytime i insert a flash drive?

[dangerdogL2121]

I don't think so, not with ahk. The script would have to be ran to do anything.

You could prepare a script with a SetTimer to see if a (particular) USB flash drive is available and make it read the autorun data and execute it? See http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/8 ... ntry566897

I'm trying to get autorun to work so I get programs to autorun on computers that don't have a script already on them.
