Making autorun.inf work on a removable drive is in fact rather
simple, it requires changing a single registry setting. That
means it won't work on an arbitrary PC, but on all PCs you
prepare for it. Google for the "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" registry
setting (default value is 0x95000000, change it to 0x91000000
to enable autorun on removable drives).
