asked on How to get the batch file executed upon usb thumb drive plug in?
This is an intention to run a batch file from the usb thumb drive when this thumb drive plug into the desktop or laptop. Targeting MS WIndows 7/10/2008/201. Please see the contents of the autorun.inf as follows,
[Autorun}
ShellExecute=PCChecking.ba
UseAutoPlay=1
The "autorun" didn't seem to fire up. How to get this automatic function works?
thanks in advance.

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.
