The ability for a USB to auto-run a program is completely dependent on the operating system installed... I believe all the newer versions of Windows (Vista/7/8) have this feature removed, as there were a lot of security issues with it in XP. However, I suppose if you put a program on the persons computer first, you could make your own auto-run program; but you would need to access their computer first. And if you have access to their computer, it begs the question as to, why you wouldn't just get what you needed then and there? Anyway, the answer is yes it's possible, but not practical, and we're not going to give you the entire source code without you working on it at all.

TL;DR: It's possible, but not practical, and we're not going to give you the entire source code without you working on it at all.

Vista/7/8 still have the feature, but it is disabled by default on them, as opposed to previous version that have it enabled by default. (I'm certain about Vista and 7, but not entirely sure about 8).

Auto-running in Windows requires creating a special file called 'autorun.inf' in the root of the drive with contents similar to:

Code: Select all

[AutoRun]
shellexecute=path/to/my/program/my_program.exe


where my_program.exe is the program you want to run. make sure to set the proper path.

It doesn't require any special source code, the program can be just a regular console program, or even just a batch script.

Well, I suppose that's what I get for being a Linux user.
