APO USB Autorun

Enables you to add autorun functionality to your USB drive. It automatically searches for the standard autorun.inf (as used with CDs) and executes it.

This simple, but very handy functionality allows you to create an autorun menus in the same way you would for a CD and use it with your USB drive, or launch playlists, html pages and any other type of file as soon as the USB drive is inserted.

In addition to the autorun functionality, the program also allows you to quickly access the files on the USB drive(s) from the tray icon menu. APO Usb Autorun now comes with plugins to backup/restore folder upon drive insertion.

What It Does

  • Emulates advanced autorun functionnalities for USB stick drives
  • Enables launching a file upon drive insertion (like could be done for CD-ROM drives)
  • Supports displaying and navigating the disk file system in a structured menu—no need to browse for drive content!
  • System tray icon handles both right and left mouse click:
    • Left click to display drive related actions
    • Right click for a menu to access program options

Other Resources

APO USB Autorun is a computer-based solution. For a drive-based solution, U3 Launchpad software on some Sandisk and other USB drives would enable the USB drive to appear as both a CD drive and a USB drive, with the CD drive portion launching the autorun.
