These suggestions are going of what I know from autorun.inf files on CDs. Which I have created and worked just fine.

The autorun.inf file needs to be in the root directory...and should look like this:

[AutoRun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0

open=filename.exe (the file you wish to open)
icon=(the file what has an icon you wish to use as the drive icon in Explorer - file must have at least one icon assiociated with it)

icon= is not necessary
