Setting up a file to AutoRun on a Flashbay USB flash drive is quick and simple. Just follow the instructions below:

1) Open your favourite plain text editor such as Notepad
2) Cut and paste the text in the box below into the plain text editor.

3) Replace the text 'example.exe' with the filename you want to autorun including appropriate file extension (e.g. index.html, slideshow.ppt, portfolio.pdf etc).
The file you require to autorun may also be in a folder, in which case you can give the file path. You can therefore also Autorun to a URL like this:


4) Now save and name the file: Autorun.inf
5) Add this file to the flash drive root, with the file you want to autorun (and any other data).

When the flash drive is plugged into the computer you can view it as a drive under 'My Computer'. By Default the standard windows drive icon shows however you can add you own custom drive icon (e.g. your company logo). You can acheive this by adding an extra line to the autorun script. You also need to add the .ico file to the flash drive (in this example called company_logo.ico

It is possible your internal company IT department will have a .ico file of your company logo to hand. However if you want to make one you need to use a specific icon making program (making a 16 by 16 pixel file in a standard graphics editor and naming it with a .ico extention will not work)
