Abstract
A computer readable memory to direct a computer to enable AutoRun functionality for basic removable disc drives. The computer readable memory stores a first, second and third set of instructions. The first set of instructions directs the computer to determine whether a removable disc has been inserted into a basic removable disc drive. The second set of instructions directs the computer to inform the operating system that the removable disc has been inserted into the basic removable disc drive, causing the operating system to execute an autorun.inf file on the removable disk without any user input. The third set of instructions directs the computer to repeat the execution of the first and second set of instructions while the computer does not seek to power down.
