Note that the "always perform this action" is not an option when you create an Autorun.inf file on a USB drive. However, there are many programs out there, one actually written by me (BusRunner, if you want a copy give me a shout brandonATbc3techDOTnet) that will sit in your system tray and launch programs you specify based on configurations stored on your USB drive. Very effective. You’re not truely autorunning w/ your solution – some user interaction is still required.

I have a complete tutorial on doing just that. You can find it at <a href="http://www.dailycupoftech.com/usb-drive-autoruninf-tweaking/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailycupoftech.com/usb-drive-autoruninf-tweaking/</a>. I love the TrueCrypt idea. I have actually been doing this for a couple of years and talk about it in <a href="http://www.dailycupoftech.com/zen-and-the-art-of-the-usb-drive/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailycupoftech.com/zen-and-the-art-of-the-usb-drive/</a>. I really like the blog. Keep up the good work and good information. Actually, with SP2 on Windows, you can autorun USB devices without installing another application on your computer.
