[nvda] Re: nvda and u3 apps

Not sure, because I don't actually own one, but after searching on Google, they say that you need to start this U3 launch pad program and select the program you want to auto start. So, sounds like you will need to point it to nvda.exe. If, however, you have reformatted the drive and removed the launch pad feature then you no longer have a U3 drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "andy" <starclip98@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

You need to do the following:
1 - Create a pendrive/USB/standalone version of the program. This must
be able to run from a USB stick.
2 - Create a simple manifest file for the program and provide an icon.
3 - Assemble the files together in the correct format and zip them up.
4 - Rename the zip file to u3p, e.g. NVDA.u3p

You can then insert the U3 stick and import/load your NVDA build.

I've done this before: the bit you need to find out are steps 2 and 3.
I believe you can sign up on the U3 site as a developer and get a
guide on how to do the work. It's not difficult but it is esoteric.
You can't just use an autorun.inf file.
If you format the drive you'll lose the automatic-starting U3 ability for ever.
