Applications that start automatically when a USB device is plugged into the Macintosh would be very, very dangerous. A hacker with a carefully prepared device could hack into any Macintosh that is not carefully watched in public.

I assume that Apple has done their best to make this impossible, and don't expect anyone to help you with this.

Very true - thus the deafening silence!

autorun is one of the worst features of Windows. (JMHO). I prefer the way Mac OS X handles DMGs, put it "in your face" and it's your responsibility to perform the desired action (copy to Applications folder, etc...).

By "carefully prepared" you mean like a bootable copy of an OS install disk that lets you reset admin passwords? =)

You can make a very pleasant looking finder window including an image with instructions on installation, etc. or an installer.

That thread links a site that gives some details on prepping your nice looking window that will open on mount.

I was thinking about something a lot faster. In public you would watch your MacBook so nobody can steal it. There is no way someone could boot from a USB drive while you watch it. But they might be able to plug in a USB stick, and if some small app launches automatically and quickly, that could do a lot of damage.
