windows - USB - autorun a web address

Thursday 23 August 2018

Q: How to open a web site automatically when inserting a USB.

I currently have 2 files on it:

autorun.inf
start.url

autorun.inf contains 3 lines:

[autorun]  
ShellExecute=start.url
open=start.url

start.url contains 2 lines:

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://cnn.com

Loads ok on a Vista machine, but does not load on other XP or Windows7 machines.

Any clue what to change?
