Hi,
This has been taken from an email sent by David Rennalds.
"
It depends which version of windows you are running:
On your USB drive, there should be a folder called NVDA. Assuming this is
the case, open up notepad, and type or paste the following:
[AutoRun]
open=nvda\nvda.exe
action=Start NVDA
icon=nvda\nvda.exe
shell\NVDA="Start NVDA"
shell\NVDA\command=nvda\nvda.exe
shell=NVDA
Save this I the root directory of the USB drive, as autorun.inf
When you insert the usb drive in another computer, you should be able to
press enter, and NVDA should start."

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

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.
