Yes. But there are ways, and there are ways.  And as long as you run it on your own computer and put  yourself at risk and not others, then it will still work just as long as you know what you're doing.  Cheers!

Windows doesn't run autorun files automatically any longer from thumb drives as a security measure against malicious code running.  You can run Narrator, run NVDA, then close Narrator.

Hi Keryn.  Here is a sample of an Autorun.inf file.

Copy the below code:

[autorun]
;Open=NVDA.exe
ShellExecute=NVDA.exe
UseAutoPlay=1


Save the autorun.inf file onto the root of your USB drive.

Cheers!

hi guys
 
is it possible to create an auto run file to place on a flash drive, so that the portable copy of NVDA will launch as soon as the flash drive is placed into the USB port?
if so how can it be done?
 
thanks
