Hi, I've got a USB keychain drive and would like to make better use of it. I'm already storing passwords on it using passwordsafe (http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/). Ideally, I'd like three things: 1. When I plug in my keychain, I'd like a sequence of events to occur - including opening my stocktrading webpage. 2. I'd like an encrypted portion of the harddrive on the host computer to mount itself and become available. 3. I'd like an encrypted portion of the usb keychain to appear as a harddrive that I can copy things too and from. I'm using Windows 2000. |

I suppose a batch file would work? |

Yeah, I was thinking that plugging in the keychain should cause a batch file to run... part of the answer would be how to set that up. Thanks, Rudy |

Hmm... I did a lot of looking for an answer to this, and it seems that there isn't any simple way of making a USB drive automatically launch an application. Normally with a CD you can create an autorun.inf file which would load any applications you want. Unfortunately, due to the way that Windows loads USB flash drives, the autorun file doesn't do anything. There may be an application out there that can watch for the drive connection and then run an application, but I wasn't able to find one. Good luck. |
