Add to autoplay

[PrivatePile]

Simple question I think. Is it possible to add to the Autoplay menu when you insert a flashdrive? I followed this tutorial HERE and I'd like to have the MountTC.bat as an option in AutoPlay, just to save myself the 4-5 clicks of going into the drive. Is this possible?

For those that dont want to read the tutorial, basically you encrypt a flash drive with TrueCrypt, and create a batch file to mount it. I'd like to have the bat file available on the autoplay menu.

If you don't already have an Autorun.inf file in the root directory of the drive, create one, something like this:

[autorun] 
icon=myicon.ico
label=My Flashdrive

You could use the line

open=MountTC.bat

to make it run automatically, but if you want a new menu item, here's how.

First, add this line:

shell\MountTC\command=MountTC.bat

That will create a command named MountTC. If you want to set the name, add the line

shell\MountTC=&Mount TC

Place the ampersand (&) before the letter you want to be used as the hotkey.

Lastly, if you want this to be the default command, that is, the one that runs when you double-click it, add this line:

shell=MountTC

This is how it would look in the file, if you use all the options I gave above:

[autorun] 
icon=myicon.ico
label=My Flashdrive
shell\MountTC\command=MountTC.bat
shell\MountTC=Mount &TC
shell=MountTC

Am I missing something? Below is the code that was created by Truecrypt originally...

[autorun]
label=TrueCrypt Traveler Disk
icon=TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe
action=Mount TrueCrypt volume
open=TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe /q background /e /m rm /v "Personal"
shell\start=Start TrueCrypt Background Task
shell\start\command=TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe
shell\dismount=Dismount all TrueCrypt volumes
shell\dismount\command=TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe /q /d

I changed that to the below...

[autorun]
icon=TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe
label=TrueCrypt Traveler Disk
shell\MountTC\command=MountTC.bat
shell\MountTC=&Mount TC
shell=MountTC

Yet I still do not get anything other than Open File and ReadyBoost in the AutoPlay. I also noticed that I do not get the truecrypt image on my drive in windows explorer. What am I missing? I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64 if that matters.

The original file is the one you want to use. It already had the menu options in it. The problem is that Windows 7 changed the behavior of AutoRun for USB drives (that don't emulate an optical drive, like a U3 drive does.) Any line that doesn't begin with icon or label is ignored.

You may be able to re-enable autorun, but I don't know how to do that in Windows 7. You might want to ask in the software forum, though they will probably warn you it's a security vulnerability.
