Like how your CD drive launches your audio/video application automatically, you’d love to have your pen drive on Autorun too. Especially if it is full of files and you don’t want to search for the one you want. Or if you are in a hurry to get your document printed from a remote computer and you just want it to pop up immediately. Is it possible?

The bad news is that it requires setting changes to be done in Windows, and it can get quite complicated if you are using XP or versions before that. The good news is that with USB Autorunner you can get a 100% Autorun facility without having to alter any settings in Windows. One of the old methods that some users are using is writing an ‘Autorun.inf’ file manually and placing in the root directory. There are two negatives to this method. The obvious one is that you need to know how to write the file, and average users don’t want to get into that. The other drawback, and the more significant one, is that this method does not give a 100% autostart. It will only open the Windows dialog box and wait for you to click on OK. But with USB Autorunner, you get a superlative result with a few simple mouse clicks. It is the ultimate utility to autorun your chosen application when you insert any USB stick into your computer.
