Vista - How to enable Autorun with a specific program?

**dubnikova** · 01-05-2009

I've an integrated CF reader (always drive G.) in my new Dell XPS Studio. Whenever I insert the CF card I would like a certain program (Nikon Transfer) to start? The autorun screen that is invoked when I insert the card has no option to add this program.

Open Notepad, then copy & paste the following:

Code:

[autorun]
OPEN=SETUP.EXE
ICON=SETUP.EXE,0

Obviously, change SETUP.EXE to the name of your program EXE file.
Save the file as "autorun.inf" into the root of your CF card.

Thanks for the prompt reply, but is not a very good solution. Since I format the cards once they full with images. I need to do something on the drive level.

That is the only way to enable Autorun for any particular device.

I wish I could help further, but that's it...
