Hey all,
I've been poking all over the net trying to see what the progress is on getting USB drives to autorun/play. The closest thing anyone has come up with is the funky U3 hack of tricking XP with a phony CD drive work-around that leaves you with /two/ extra letters. Interesting work-around, but a hack, never-the-less.

This autorun at least gets your program on the popup window, but it's still not autorun.
[autorun]
action=Launch Portable Start Menu
icon=PStart.ico
open=PStart.exe
label=Monkey Man!
includeRuntimeComponents=True

Any progress on getting USB drives to autorun/play? Any word from MS?
