Step 2A More Complex Autorun
If you want a USB drive that actually does something when you plug it into a computer, then this is the step for you.
Type the following into Notepad or Notepad++:
autorun
icon=NAME.ico
label=NAME
open=FILE.EXT
action=ACTION NAME
This is a short explanation of the new stuff you just typed:
open: Duh. This will open a file that you choose. If that file is in a folder, you would type the following:
open=.\Folder\File.ext
action: This is what you want the option to be called. If you remember, the option's name on the first page was "Heal People". Refer to the picture to see what I mean.

An autrun file has been created for optical drives like cd-roms and dvd-roms. These days these files are still used to install applications from optical drives and are autrun files on flash drives used only to show manufactorers icons.
