USB Auto Launch an Auto Success!
Have you ever loaded up a computer program such as a video game or an interactive CD and seen a splash screen pop up followed by an auto run menu? This menu is actually what Premium USB likes to call, an Auto Launch screen. Auto Launch screens appear every time a particular CD/DVD/BD are loaded into a computer and have become increasingly popular with USB Flash Drives.
Yes USB flash drives are now becoming the primary platform for Auto Launch screens and it’s not hard to see why. Flash drives are a new and trendy way to store and transfer data as well as make great promotional tools to give away at trade-shows or any other social events.
Every time a USB flash drive is inserted into a computer, the USB autostart program will load and a splash screen/menu will appear that allows the user to interact with the drive. The true beauty of this USB auto run feature is in its ability to continually expose the end user to your company logo. Think about it… Every time they insert your USB drive, your logo appears on their screen as well as any and all interactive buttons to help them navigate the drive.
But what’s to prevent the end user from deleting your content and then using the USB drive as they please? Well, what we are able to do is to make it so that your content can never be deleted. I won’t go into the exact specifics, but in a nutshell the computer reads your information as an undeletable partition, and thus the user can’t delete it.
At Premium USB we will work with you to help you design a splash screen and menu that will Auto Launch every time your USB drive is inserted into a computer. This splash screen or menu can be as simple as your company logo, or be extremely complex with numerous buttons and additional options that will make your product stand out. Basically, if you can dream it, we can create it!
If you have any questions, concerns, emotions, thoughts, or just want to know how well my day is going…let me know! Nothing wrong with a little banter.

We just did a great menu for one of our clients that really enhanced their promotional USB preloading amazing impact for just $149! With their logo we already had for custom printing on their usb drive, and a photograph we got from their website we made a simple AutoLaunch menu. We then added a button their one PDF of their product catalog they were going to preload on the drive, then added a button to their website, and a button to browse the USB drive. PRESTO! Their boring USB preload of one Acrobat PDF file was transformed into a professional interactive presentation surely to impress anyone who is lucky enough to get this USB drive give-a-way.

Hi
I’m really interested to know how you are doing this, it’s exactly what I am after but many times have failed!
My company needs an autolaunch function on USB keys (non U3 included) we have the menu’s ready but not the functionality to auto launch.
P.S. Does this work on all versions of Windows? Do you support Mac?
Many thanks
Hi Ben,
We would be happy to create an autolaunch for your existing menu. Just like normal CD autoruns they do not work on Mac, but should be supported by most all versions of Windows.
Thanks!
Hi Amanda
In regards to the autolaunch would this work on a standard USB key without a U3 sector?
I’ve managed to get autolaunch working on XP but its not exactly what I want, A – it only works on XP not Vista or Seven, B – The user still has to select the file to launch, I want the interface to automatically when the key is inserted.
If this is somthing you can do please mail me and we can discus further.
Thanks in advanced!
