I don't believe Windows supports autorun from a USB device.
What that means is that Windows will not automatically execute a script when it senses a USB device. This is quite unlike a CD drive, from which Windows will gladly execute autorun.inf. That's why U3 flash drives have to emulate a CD drive.
So to put it briefly: You can't do what you want to do. I don't know whether Vista will have this capability.

Hello,.

I have an external USB hardrive. each time I plug it, it is automatically recognized by Windows Explorer with the name i gave it (superdrive smile.gif )
Now I want a shortcut automatically created and removed on my desktop each time i plug and unplug it
How can I do that? I think I have to add a file to its root but I don't know what...
thanks
