How to Automatically Start a Program from USB Drive Immediately after Inserting

The feature is present in the operating system installation CD/DVDs. Immediately after inserting an installation CD the setup window automatically appears and prompt you to head on with the steps.

You can integrate the similar feature in USB drive also. Just put an autorun.inf in USB drive along with the installation file, setup process will start automatically. No need to manually open by double clicking.

1. Open Notepad and type the following text.

[autorun]
open=setup.exe

Here setup.exe is the installer of the program and so it might vary for case to case. Suppose for Photoshop it is photoshop.exe, then put the above code as

[autorun]
open=photoshop.exe

Save the file as autorun.inf of “File Type” as All in Notepad.

2. Now put the file in USB drive or CD/DVD.

Now re-insert the USB drive or CD/DVD and look the inside program is starting automatically.
