AutoHotkey Community

I have an application on a USB memory drive and it works by calling the location by Using



Now when I create a key in the registry the hot key detection program loads but it looks in another directory other that the USB one. In Basic I can use the command "Application.Path" which tells the application where it is. As it is on a USB memory device the drive letter may change.

I have not found an equivenent command as
even when the hotkey detection script is in the same folder will not find Application.exe.

It works if I create a shortcut or even a Autorun script

Any ideas welcomed.

Also I am still looking for a autorun method that will autostart a application on USB insertion the best so far is



That gets it to the option window. It seems to work in all instances Sometimes the Autoplay needs setting.

For a CD its different it runs merrily away. I cannot quite get the same effect with a usb memory device.

Autorun for CD drives works differently than autorun for removable devices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun#How_Explorer_recognizes_AutoRun_capability gives all of the different classes of autorun. Notice how DRIVE_REMOVABLE (what your flash drive falls under) is disabled by default. This is why U3 installs a virtual CD drive, in order to autorun an application in Windows.


For the rest of your problem...
?
--tested in .ahk and .exe to work correctly

I appreciate the heads up and links. Really a U3 should only be a standard USB device with a program on it. I have heard of people reformating one to see what happens and lose the Autostart feature. In Australia I have not come across one yet
