    autorun of specific executable on usb flash drive


    In windows 7, there is a checkbox i can click so windows will remember to launch a specific executable on a usb flash drive. but it seems in windows 10 this feature has disappeared. Can someone enlighten me so i get the same feature in Windows 10? This is very helpful for those of us who use flash drives that are password protected and require to launch a vendor app to enter password to decrypt the drive content.

    Also, I noted that in Windows 7, the auto launch does not start if my active window in explorer has a file open dialog box opened. Can this be fixed as I dont think it is a proper design this way. In Windows 10, the system has a much longer delay than windows 7 to prompt me to decide which app to launch when the usb flash drive is inserted. My expectation is that there should be a checkbox so I can specify which executable to auto launch. There should also be a setting somewhere that lets me change this setting later.

    :)

  2. Blocking execution of Autorun with Windows Defender?

    Is there a way that Windows Defender can automatically block the execution of Autorun commands once a USB flash drive or a DVD is inserted on a computer?

    Is there a way to keep the file folder from opening without turning it off for all USB drives or make it in a background window?

    USB Autorun each time windows boots?

    If the hard drive is always left plugged-in then i also think you should check the autorun options for that drive...don't necessarily have to turn autorun off completely.
    I don't remember well in Win7, i don't have a machine with that os now in my hands, but i think you should check the properties in the apps bar(right click on it), there are some options that deal separately with each device type (discs, hds, printers etc), among them should be an option about you external usb drive(autorun).

    Otherwise, under devices (start, type devices - not device manager), find listed you ext usb drive and right click on it.There should be all kind of options available with a hd.
