    I'm not too sure where to put this, so I'm putting it here.

    When I insert my thumb drive into a PC, I want that PC to open a new Windows Explorer window at the root of that drive. This would most likely involve an autorun.inf file. I've look at Microsoft's MSDN entry on the matter, and I still can't figure out how to do that.

    Can anybody help me out?

    start > my com... > right-click the drive > prop... > autoplay > mixed content > select an action... > open folder... ok

    If it doesn't work, autoplay is disabled.

    That would only give the drive that property on that PC. I want any PC to have that behavior when I insert a given drive.
