The following was mentioned in a post regarding autorunning from a flash drive:
"To get autorun working under Windows 7 requires special firmware on the drive and/or some specialty software preinstalled on the machine."
Could this be elaborated on?
Is there anything at all that I could do, or a program I could write, to bypass the Windows 7 AutoPlay disable?

I think we may need some clarification on Autoplay Vs. Autorun.
Autorun on USB/Removable devices has been turned off in Windows since April 2009.
To enable Autorun you will have to change some settings on your computer.
gpedit.msc
in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.Computer Configuration
, expandAdministrative Templates
, then expandWindows Components
, and then clickAutoplay Policies
.disabled
Enabled
and then selectAutomatically execute the autorun commands
Note that you will not be able to bypass the Autorun policy, it will only work on the intended media types such as CD's DVD's and Video Games.
