Hey I have to install a program that is on a flashdrive on around 300 computers in the next few days and I got through 25 today. Now the application takes a long time to install but it will automatically as soon as it runs. So I was thinking is there a way to automatically run the file from the flash drive with absolutely no user interaction? I've tried the autorun.inf or something along those lines but it still requires some interaction. Im running Windows XP and I have heard that on some it isn't possible because Microsoft disabled it due to security reasons which is understandable. So can anyone help me?

These are brand new computers and they need to have all the programs and all that junk that our other ones have. I have the job of installing them on 300+ computers and each takes a few hours.

That's exactly what i'm doing right now. They are brand new computers and since i am at a school, i have to upgrade all the programs and sites to what the principal wants the kids to be able to do on them. BTW it's an elementary school.
You can't :( You gotta change the computer to accept auto run. It'd be faster to just plugin, and click auto run.
If you can, download peazip on the computer, download all the file on each computer. and watch them all install at the same time

How do I change them to autorun? Will that work?
You'd have to plugin, and then once control panel recognize it, you have to change the setting to auto run.
In the same time, you could've just pressed install instead, as you'd still have to do that to each computer.
Or you could use Windows Program manager (Forgot name) and install them from server with Windows updates (Not sure if it's only for Enterprise)

How autorun.inf needs user interaction?

When I plug it in the autorun box pops up but I want to just plug in and then take out almost immediately without clicking anything.

Jokester wherever you are working probably won't appreciative turning on autorun (Most business's have it off for a reason)
Hire a few kids for $5 a pop, and have 10 of them (with copied flash drives) go around plugging in and accepting. (This is what my computer teacher does, except I don't get paid -.-)
