Hi both,
Can Auto Play be used ? So as a screen, with the given batch file presented for running?
Or else, any alternative way with minimal intervention from the user?
Thanks,

Autoplay is not a best practice... the correct way is start manually
But try explain better your scenario and why you want give to yours users an autostart thumb drive for execute a bat, so we try suggest an alternative solution
Thanks for both experts - Dr. Klahn and Ermanno in pointing out the autorun and autoplay are "prone" to introduce viruses into the PC. Now, I get the user to run the required batch file instead and this works.
