How to Test Autorun.inf Files On Floppy?

[David Chan]

Hi All:

I have done what http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q136/2/14.asp suggests for testing my autorun.inf on floppy but I encounter problems.

First, I put two files in a floppy disk:

notepad.exe
autorun.inf - content of autorun.inf:
[autorun]
open=notepad.exe
icon=notepad.exe,0

Second, the above page suggests me to change the bit of the first byte of the value of NoDriveTypeAutoRun in regedit.
I changed that from 95 to 91 and restarted the machine but pressing F5 while I was exploring A: just still didn't work, notepad didn't start at all! BTW, I am using Windows 2000 Server.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

You can't autorun from the floppy disk, it runs on a CD-Rom only, maybe on the hard disk too. But not on a floopy.
