Hi calmat,

Okay, well let's try making one and seeing if it makes any change:

Batch File

1. Go to Start > Run to bring up the run box
2. In the box, type notepad.exe and press OK to open Notepad
3. Copy (Ctrl+C) all of the text in the following box and paste (Ctrl+V) it into Notepad
   
   
   Code:

   @echo off
   
   if exist G:\autorun.inf GOTO file
   if not exist G:\autorun.inf GOTO nofile
   
   :file
   attrib -r -s -h G:\autorun.inf
   copy G:\autorun.inf G:\autorun.txt
   GOTO:nofile
   
   :nofile
   echo [autorun] > G:\autorun.inf
   echo label=Test >> G:\autorun.inf
   
   notepad.exe G:\autorun.inf

4. Go to File > Save As... and save it to your Desktop named peek.bat. Make sure you change the Save as type to All Files (*.*)
5. Locate peek.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it to run this script
6. Upon completion, it will open a notepad window. Please copy and paste all of the text in this file into your next post

Hi calmat,

That's great It seems to have worked. That made an autorun file in your G drive. Can you please unplug your drive then plug it back in and check whether the menu has returned?

Thanks for the info Wither I didn't see your post because it was on the previous page.
