Just a silly tweak: AUTORUN.INF for Windows
If Windows sees an autorun.inf on a drive when it's mounted it can display some personalized information, a custom icon and prompt what to do.
Here's a AUTORUN.INF setup for a Kindle: Code:
[autorun] open=C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe action=Open Calibre label=YOUR NAME HERE Kindle DX icon=kindle.ico I'm always tweaking things like this P.S. I have autorun turned off on my removable drives because of other issues, so while the name and icon show just fine I can't see if the autorun actually launches. Someone please let me know if it works OK. |

For even more fun you could probably have it open "format c:"!

That's not cool, Wayner. What if someone seriously did that? I know you probably meant it as a joke, but...yeah, not cool at all.

It will ask for you to confirm so don't worry.
