Windows 7 Autorun.inf not working

It's common for autorun.inf files to be restricted due to security reasons in newer Windows versions like Windows 7 and later. This restriction is to prevent the automatic execution of potentially harmful programs when a USB drive is inserted. However, you can still achieve the desired autorun behavior by using a different method. One way to do this is by creating a shortcut to the program on the USB drive and configuring Windows to open the program automatically when the drive is inserted. Here's how you can create a shortcut and set up automatic execution: 1. Create a Shortcut: - Locate the program executable (.exe) file on your USB drive. - Right-click on the executable file and select "Create shortcut" to generate a shortcut to the program. 2. Edit the Autorun Configuration: - Create a new autorun.inf file on the root of your USB drive (if not already there). - Open the autorun.inf file using a text editor like Notepad. - Add the following lines to the autorun.inf file: Replace "yourprogram.exe" with the name of the shortcut you created. 3. Ensure AutoPlay is Enabled: - Make sure that AutoPlay is enabled on your Windows 7 system. You can do this by: - Pressing the Windows Key + R, type "control" and press Enter to open the Control Panel. - Go to "Hardware and Sound" > "Autoplay" and ensure the option is set to "Use Autoplay for all media and devices." After following these steps, when you insert the USB drive into your Windows 7 computer, Windows should automatically open the program through the shortcut you created. This method should help you achieve the desired autorun behavior with the program installed on your USB drive in Windows 7. Let me know if you need further assistance with this process!
