hey,
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/05/24/reinstall-or-restore-u3-launchpad-software-into-usb-flash-smart-drive/

So you can reinstall it using a program that will give you to not writeable disk image on your usb and the launchpad can we crack this code to run any program we want?

I think it is possible but how?

Wait, what are you asking?

I agree with that question

U3 is a program that comes preinstalled on many USB drives. My question is: Why the hell would you want to reinstall it?

*facepalm*

I do not try to reinstall it, but you guys know right that an U3 AUTO-RUNS 100% guaranteed? You can install it sooo…. I can make something that auto runs my application?

I don't know if it's possible to run a program automatically as soon as you plug the stick in, because that could easily be exploited by people who want harm.

Thanks that I was looking for!

edit:
It still doesn't tell how to autorun Real autorun in any pc.

This is completely ontopic… just don't kick me for direct directions.. :D

This will make u3 a hacking device…

This will help stop u3 hacking…

I know you already got help… but here is a little more..

I don't want to hack it I want to use my own programs directly at start.

On U3? Doesn't it have an option if you right click the thing to start on insertion?


If you click that option, it should start up when U3 opens. I think that's what you are asking?

Forget U3, just edit/create autorun.inf

There are guides about how to make it execute a certain program. The file is read every time a drive, cd, dvd, etc are mounted in Windows.

Here's an example autorun.inf:

[Autorun]
open=NameOfExecutable.exe
action=Run Executable
shell\exec=Run Executable
shell\exec\command=NameOfExecutable.exe
shell=exec

Don't trust me though – I don't have a handy windows install around, so you'll have to mess around with it, and read online.

Hope this helped somewhat. Remember, every computer might have different autorun policies, so you can't be guaranteed it'll auto run it all the time. There are other methods online to hack that though ;)

The point about the USB and autorun.inf's is that Windows does not execute them without user interaction.
