This is the autorun.inf for the portable version of AIRoboform. Can you help me figure out what purpose the various lines are for? Below is my guess as to what it all means and how to use it. I got a lot of help from the MSDN website here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776823.aspx (http://tinyurl.com/69mu8y). That link came from WikiPedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun (http://tinyurl.com/sdkfs) - - - - - - - - - - - - [AutoRun] open=PortableRoboForm.exe action=Launch RoboForm2Go shell\RoboForm2Go=Launch RoboForm2Go shell\RoboForm2Go\command=PortableRoboForm.exe icon=PortableRoboForm.exe label=RoboForm2Go - - - - - - - - - - - - 2. a. [AutoRun] is maybe just a label? It's a section label that tells the OS to execute everything under it including any switches required and, if they are not in the same folder, where to find them. It is conceivable that other sections could exist within an Autorun.ini file using section labels other than [AutoRun], but I don't recall ever seeing any. b. open= identifies what will run/launch when the action displayed in the autorun dialog box is selected Correct. Anything that starts with 'open' will be executed as long as the OS doesn't have instructions in place to prevent Autorun commands. These lines can include any type of executable such as .exe, .com, .bat, etc. type files as well as relative path statements such as "open=bootcd\wintools\autorun.exe -s -f". c. action= specifies the text that will appear as an option in the autorun dialog box. d. shell\RoboForm2Go= specifies the text in the context menu when the drive bearing the label RoboForm2Go is right clicked e. shell\RoboForm2Go\command= specifies the command to execute when that option on the context menu is selected. f. icon= tells the system where to find the icon to display for the drive. label= specifies the label or name of the drive. The rest of your descriptions are spot on as well. You have left me nothing to add to these, so I added nothing. :O) --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
