>From what I can remember, the 'autorun.inf' file contains two things: (a) a .bmp file to display (b) a program to automatically run
There's a hint that Vista is doing something slightly different: http://www.phdcc.com/shellrun/autorun.htm#vista May or may not be related: "The action key is only used in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later. It is only supported for drives of type DRIVE_REMOVABLE and DRIVE_FIXED. In the case of DRIVE_REMOVABLE, the action key is required. An action command in the Autorun.inf file of an audio CD or movie DVD is ignored and these media continue to behave as in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) and earlier." http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969327.aspx The top-hit for the message: "The operating system denied access to the specified file." is actually one of our own forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-20491.html Amazingly, that message is from March 2005 (2 years ago), so this may not be Vista specific; it could be that Vista is just coming with new defaults to not run 'Autorun.inf' from CD (there are registry keys for preventing this auto-execution). ** Summary changed: - OpenCD doesn't work in Windows Vista + OpenCD doesn't work in Windows Vista ("The operating system denied access to the specified file.") -- OpenCD doesn't work in Windows Vista ("The operating system denied access to the specified file.") https://launchpad.net/bugs/61575 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
