USB Autorun Creator

Back in the days where videos games and other forms of entertainment were delivered mostly through media disks, special programs made custom prompts pop up whenever you inserted a disk. The same can be done with USB Flash drives in a simple manner, and this is exactly what USB Autorun Creator wants to prove.

A neat advantage presented as soon as the download process is finished, is that you don’t have to go through a setup process. You can thus take it with you on an USB Flash drive. The only thing you need to make sure is the PC you run it on is equipped with Java Runtime Environment.

On the visual side of things, the interface is fitted with a classic Java layout, a few buttons, a set of options, and some text input fields. The overall process is simple, presented in an intuitive interface, and takes only a little while. Only one step and a few settings are required for the new file to be created.

As the name suggests, you need an USB Flash drive for the process to be successful. Don’t worry, data is kept intact, as you’re not asked to format the drive. It’s selected from a drop-down menu, where you weirdly get to see local drives as well. Name is now shown, so you need to know the exact drive letter.

A description can be set so you can get a small preview of data. You don’t get create a splash screen or launch interface, but rather get to choose an existing executable file to be launched when the Flash drive is plugged in. You can choose an icon for the drive, which can be ICO, EXE, and DLL. Initiating the process only takes a few seconds, since the result consists of a small INF file.

To sum it up, USB Autorun Creator doesn’t bring anything new on the block, as this can also be manually done with a simple script and a TXT file, but rather aims to greatly simplify the whole process, reduce the risk of error. It takes little space and resources, can be used on the go, deserving a try overall.
