Hi Tom,
For years now I have been trying to do just this with NVDA and Jaws on a mem
stick.
So far I have failed. I think that a special 3u mem stick is necessary with
a cd image burned onto it is the only way.
However, I found the following script on the NVDA site last week:
I think it is slightly different to yours:
[AutoRun]
open=nvda\nvda.exe
action=Start NVDA
icon=nvda\nvda.exe
shell\NVDA="Start NVDA"
shell\NVDA\command=nvda\nvda.exe
shell=NVDA
Kind regards
Aedan O'Meara

Just a suggestion but do you not open folder and from there run NVDA

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get the NVDA screen reader to load automatically when
inserting my Pen Drive into the computer.
I want to be able to use it at my local library.
What is happening is the Windows Autoplay pop up appears with all
the normal options of what do you want to do, but the option to run NVDA
isn't there.
According to the instructions I got from the internet the NVDA
option should have appeared at the top of the Autoplay list so that a press
of the Enter key would load the screen reader.
I had this working perfectly about a year ago and haven't changed
the Autorun.inf file.
I've read that the Autorun.inf file doesn't work with Windows 7 as
Microsoft disabled it but now i'm wondering if they have disabled it in
Windows XP as well via the latest service pack.
Anyway, my Autorun.inf file is below so if you think i've made an
error somewhere by all means let me know.
[autorun]
open=nvda.exe
icon=nvda.exe
action=Launch NVDA Screen Reader
Cheers Tom.
