Autorun with USB

[dioxb]

Hi!
I need to make a task that start when we put a specific usb drive.
Example: I insert my drive "U" and starts a program with a parameters for this drive, and I insert my drive "V" and starts a program with others parameters for this drive.

Anybody can help me?

Thanks!!

Look at the example below.
You should use "On Device Changed" trigger and pass the device letter to the task.
In the task you should analyze the volume label of device.

You may assign any label to your USB device by using system command label.
For example:
label j: potato

I tested the example with two flash drives with labels POTATO and TOMATO

Code: Select all

Save the text of the task into a file. Use menu Task->Import in order to import the task into RoboTask.
Do not forget to enable the task after importing
