Adrien,
When you plug in a USB drive you should get the menu appear which gives you a few options. One of them is 'open folder to view files'. Pressing 'O' at that point highlights that option. Pressing after that opens the folder of that drive. Now pressing 'N' will highlight NVDA.exe, and pressing enter again should launch NVDA. 

So the sequence is:

1.  Plug in the drive.
2.  Wait about ten seconds.
3.  Press O
4.  Press enter.
5.  Press N
7.  Press enter
8.  NVDA launches with rising tones.
Unfortunately sometimes the choice dialog which appears when the drive is inserted doesn't gain focus. Then you have a problem.

Ok in that case, how can my friend run nvda on pen with no
speech, for the first time, the pen will be put on the pc,
he will need sighted assistance to navigate to the pen and
hit the shortcut, I have experimented and tried using a
hotkey but of course the drive letter will be different for
each pc. There must be a way around this.

Adrien,





Nowadays Windows will not allow applications to autostart
from a
replaceable drive.

Even the commercial screen-readers rely on a service running
on the PC
to start the reader.

Supernova has the Dolphiin autostart service and Jaws has
another
version of the same thing.

Hi

I have set-up nvda on usb pen, how can I get it to

autorun,

I have the autorun.inf file, for some strange reason,
Microsoft have stopped it running usb pens with exe files.

I

found a lot on google but I don't know what is safe. I am
trying to help a friend who helps other people with their
pc's but doesn't have jaws portable.
