Making a autorun in Pen[USB] drive [autorun.inf]

In this post, I shall be writing about creating autorun file in order to run or execute any program from your pendrive. Autorun.inf is a special file that can contain the information regarding the icon for drive, autorun programs, etc.

Using autorun.inf can also be useful for running the virii and worms automatically from the USB drive.

How to:
1) Open notepad
2) Type the following:

[autorun]
Icon=default
label=[YourLabelHere]
open=targetprogramname.exe

This autorun.inf file now should be saved in the root directory of your USB drive and you'll have your autorun file... :)

Now let me say the way of changing icon of the drive. In order to change the icon of your USB drive, type the following in autorun.inf file.

[autorun]
icon=[youricon.ico]
label=[YourLabelHere]

That's all. :)
