[nvda] Re: Is there a way to get nvda to start with out asking

Interestingly, and this may reflect more on the way machines are set up than anything else, putting nvda on a CD with an autorun works on more machines than a stick does. Its a shame, but as has been written it seems that there are differences in the way Windows deals with the two sorts of drives and I guess also because people traditionally use cds and ram sticks for differnt things, using sticks for changable data, and cds to install stuff.

Hi, I have had some problems getting nvda to run from the auto run file in windows vista. Is there a way to get the auto run file to automatically choose and start nvda when you insert the flash drive? 
Apparently, there is a way to configure a Vista machine to autorun
automatically. I haven't provided instructions in my article on the wiki
because I don't know how to do it; I don't run Vista. I remember reading
something about autoplay settings in Control Panel. If you do find out,
please email the list or update the wiki article. However, note that
even once you do this, it will only autorun automatically for the
machine configured to do so; i.e. if you use the same USB stick on
another Vista machine, it won't autorun automatically. There is no way
around this except to use a U3 drive configured appropriately.
