gettin' jiggy with it

hi all, sorry this is a re-post but i can't believe the lack of info on USB communications! surely the new USB technology is taking over COM ports. my new you-beaut program is ready to roll except for one thing, the program on the USB drive must autorun once it is connected.. I've been doing a bit of research on making my USB drive to autorun. Based on what i've gathered, "the device must not be marked as a removable media device" - microsoft would anybody know how to achieve this?? (i've considered writing a hook application to handle the autorun side of things. but i would consider this as the very very last option) cheers, mike

Hi, Mike, I know that it has been over three years since you posted this request for help in getting an application to autorun from a USB drive, but did you ever find a solution to the problem. I am trying to do the same thing. You mentioned writing a hook application to do this. Did you do that? What did you hook? Some kind of volume mounted event? I haven't written a hook application, so if you could share any information that you have, I would appreciate an email to rfickling@iac-onlime.com. Thanks, Royce
