I've got 2 identical USB drives with identical files... including the autorun.inf.

Yet upon insertion 1 comes up with the Autoplay menu & the other opens a usb contents window.

Why would this occur? Is this Windows based behaviour - not how the USB is setup?

Ideally i'd like both to open the Autoplay menu.

  • same size, same manufacturer, same looking, different drives.

You might have configured one drive to open the contents instead of running Autoplay.

    Thanks for your response, I created a new Windows admin account, logged in & tried the 2 drives... both came up with the Autoplay menu. Not sure how I changed the default action, or how to change it back, but there you go.

have you cheked the contents of autorun.inf file.

Autorun.inf file is used to define the action while inserting the removable device in windows. so carefully compare the autorun.inf file
