: hi,
: for normal or ordinary thumb drives, NVDA will not start immediately right 
after you plug-in the drive, it will pop-up a menu and 
: ask you what you want to do and with the autorun.inf file provided by Chris, 
NVDA will be the first option on the menu. so, just hit 
: enter once, NVDA will load. this is different if it is U3 type of thumb 
drives. although NVDA not start as soon as you plug-in the 
: drive, but at least it is easyer then you go menually.

: Chris, Are you sure you have a plain USB thumb drive? I tried the inf file

: bzillions of articles on the web that say autorun does not work on typical
: thumb drives. But here is something from the Microsoft web site:

: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/usbfaq.mspx
: --- Begin Quote ---
: Q: What must I do to trigger Autorun on my USB storage device?
: The Autorun capabilities are restricted to CD-ROM drives and fixed disk
: drives. If you need to make a USB storage device perform Autorun, the device
: must
: not be marked as a removable media device and the device must contain an
: Autorun.inf file and a startup application.
: The removable media device setting is a flag contained within the SCSI
: Inquiry Data response to the SCSI Inquiry command. Bit 7 of byte 1 (indexed
: from
: 0) is the Removable Media Bit (RMB). A RMB set to zero indicates that the
: device is not a removable media device. A RMB of one indicates that the
: device
: is a removable media device. Drivers obtain this information by using the
: StorageDeviceProperty request.
