I am trying to write a C++ autorun launcher, but i have a problem, i
cannot figure out how to set the buttons to launch the apps to use
whatever drive number the CDROM is located at, all i can think of is to
have it default to D:\, but then it won't work on most computers!!!
Please help!!!

And your C++ question is? The C++ language does not discuss "autorun",
"launcher", "CDROM", or "buttons".
Try a Microsoft specific newsgroup.

OK, let me clarify, what i am trying to do is find out if i can have
the program, on initialization, grab the location of the cdrom drive
from the system, and set it to a static variable for the session. I was
wondering if it is possible to have this occur every time i run the
program
I hope this clears up the confusion. AO************@ gmail.com wrote:

Yes:
#include <string>
// Prototype
std::string GetCDROMLocatio n();
// static to represent file-scope has been deprecated;
// use anonymous namespaces instead
namespace
{
const std::string cdromLocation = GetCDROMLocatio n();
}
int main()
{
// ... use cdromLocation here ...
}
The details of what GetCDROMLocatio n() does, however, should be sought
from a group dealing with your platform.

This group is about standard C++. You still didn't post a C++ question.
Please take AOECheatmaster' s advice and try a Microsoft specific group.

Thanks guys, but i believe that i can use dotNet like the previous
person posted, so that may work. I appreciate the help, because if a i
cannot do it in standard C++ then i must need to use dotNet. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello all,
I needed this and did a quick search around and didn't see any
examples.
I knew it had to be easy, and it was.
So here it is a CD_Autorun program in python.
It is very simple and without comments is only about 30 lines.
Also included a setup.py at the end of the script so you can
'compile' it easily.

Hi all
I wanna run my application directly from a Flash Disk.
I want it AUTORUN once the device is attached.
I have seen some virus script-programs which create their own autoruns
on a specific Flash Disk device.
It would be very thankful If anyone could tell me about it.

Hi Everybody,
We've got a virus problem in our department and the thing it does is always the same. It creates an autorun.inf in the root of every partition. When the partition is accessed (or initialised, I'm not sure), the autorun.inf runs an executable. I was thinking I could write a program/script that checks all available disks for an autorun.inf and either replaces or deletes the file. This way, the executable doesn't run. Now, surely...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
