    Make Autorun files in Windows 7


    Hello forum,

    I would like to know if it's possible to make autorun files in windows 7.
    I've read a bit on the net and saw that some say it is not possible, but it must be; otherwise, how would hackers use autorun files in Windows 7?!

    So, this is the situation that led to my search:

    I had a game setup in my pen mixed with a lot of other important things for the installation. I wanted to make an autorun file that would do the following:

    1- you plug the pen;
    2- the program would start immediately (without autoplay).

    Let's say the file is named "setup.exe".
    I created the following autorun.inf:

    [autorun]
    open=setup.exe


    It didn't work.. probably because I am using windows 7. So, how do I create this?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Other question:

    Imagine I use Windows XP. Also imagine I had the setup.exe file in this location:
    F:/others/setup.exe

    I wanted to create an autorun that would start the setup.exe as soon as I plugged the pen in. How would the autorun.inf be like?

    As to your second question, if the cobwebs in my brain aren't too thick;

    open=others/setup.exe
