Just a suggestion but do you not open folder and from there run NVDA

  Hi Guys,

  I'm trying to get the NVDA screen reader to load automatically when inserting 
my Pen Drive into the computer.
  I want to be able to use it at my local library.

  What is happening is the Windows Autoplay pop up appears with all the normal 
options of what do you want to do, but the option to run NVDA isn't there.
  According to the instructions I got from the internet the NVDA option should 
have appeared at the top of the Autoplay list so that a press of the Enter key 
would load the screen reader.
  I had this working perfectly about a year ago and haven't changed the 
Autorun.inf file.
  I've read  that the Autorun.inf file doesn't work with Windows 7 as Microsoft 
disabled it but now i'm wondering if they have disabled it in Windows XP as 
well via the latest service pack.

  Anyway, my Autorun.inf file is below so if you think i've made an error 
somewhere by all means let me know.

  [autorun]
  open=nvda.exe
  icon=nvda.exe
  action=Launch NVDA Screen Reader

  Cheers Tom.
