Autorun from a usb no longer works. It seems like it will still bring up the options to run. This site has suggested that I load up a pdf reader and run that and then call it to run the pdf.
But a generic pdf reader would still have to go through the install prior to running it, something I am trying to avoid. The other idea I came up with was cause of this specialty usb manufactures have stated that they their usb drives can autorun files because they are formated to be local disks.
So after some experimenting and doing this I converted my usb to a local to see if that would work and pasting the autorun. Also after thinking about it creating a local disk would only work with the driver software that I loaded up onto that usb Can someone just confirm that there is no way to autorun a pdf from a usb? I cannot believe I have spent an entire day trying to just get autorun to work. However, if the user has autorun turned off it will not work and in Windows 7 and above autorun functionality for flash drives is restricted to label and icon only.

A point to remember is those users who are extra security conscious may have disabled the ability for CDs to launch without any user input, and therefore the autorun. However, they are likely to be experienced users, who would be comfortable with navigating the disc contents themselves, and are likely to find the correct content of the disc. The icon can be a company logo, or other graphics related to the contents of the disc, and the volume name a text title describing the disc content.
To include the customised icon, first create a 30 pixel by 30 pixel icon. This can be done in MS Paint, or if you have paid software such as Photoshop, than this can be used too.
