getting autorun to work with windows 7 with inf file??

[netrate]

I have a inf file that I want to run on a dedicated laptop every time a USB is inserted into the computer. The inf runs a batch file. The batch file works great, but every time I insert the USB, it brings up the menu listing for "play file, windows file explorer" etc. I want it to run the inf file and do nothing else. How can I go about this?

Now, I know that inf files are security problems, but this laptop is dedicate to one thing only and security isn't something I need to worry about. There is no internet connected to this computer either.

My inf file looks like this :

[autorun]
Open=runtv.bat

Thanks in advance

Microsoft disabled Autorun in Windows a long time ago. This might help explain it-

AutoPlay - Enable or Disable

Yes I know but how can I reenable it?

Hi
couple of options


have a look at this old thread for starters
Autoplay Registry key value

and this thread

Using AutoRun with a USB Flash Drive / USB stick (Article from SamLogic)

From my research, the autorun has been completely disabled since windows 7. There is no work around from what I could surmise using windows, but having a USB with the U3 sandisk partition for CD is supposed to work!

I actually found that article about the U3 CD/partition for USB this afternoon and my technology hording paid off because I have one with the CD partition intact.
I was using this link : How to create an autorun USB drive by yourself, which works on any Windows.
But I am stuck on some of the stuff he is using such as :

MPParamEdit_F1.exe
getinfo.exe

Since I already have the USB with the partition intact, I wonder if I need to just jump to the autoplay studio?

Well I got it to work, sort of.
I used the EVENT VIEWER to find out what event occurred when the USB was inserted. Unfortunately, there are many events that happen, but I picked the last one. The last one triggers any event in the task scheduler and runs the batch file. I am running a python file from the batch file and although the python and batch file work from file explorer (and work well), there seems to be an error when trying to run the exact same file using the EVENT VIEWER technique. I am not sure why.
