I have a html file on a flash drive that I would like to autorun in Windows. I have found examples of multiple ways to do this but none of them are working for me. Anyone see what I am doing wrong?

This is my latest Attempt:

[autorun]

icon=data/favicon.ico

label=My Project

open=ShellRun.exe OPEN-ME.htm

This was another attempt:

[autorun]
icon=data/favicon.ico
label=My Project
shellexecute=OPEN-ME.html

shell\openme=Learn More About My Project
shell\openme\command=OPEN-ME.html

shell=openme

Some of this is working, like the icon and the label. Just not the auto run.
