Pop,

A nice easy solution for you.

Save the file as foobar.txt in notepad, then use Explorer, or even DOS

, to rename the file as autorun.inf.

If notepad is objecting to the word [autorun] in the file, you could try using the DOS echo command redirected to a file.

echo [autorun] >>fred.txt
type fred.txt
fred

Hope that helps.
