NVDA should have an easy way to put it on a u3drive #197

Comment 1 by m.gregnanin (in reply to comment description) on 2008-10-15 17:16 if James and Mick agree on this point, considering that we already worked on an U3 version of the PenVDA, we would like to host a free U3 version (without the Eloquence Synthetizer and Driver) of the NVDA on our website http://www.sirecognizer.com and/or on the italian NVDA community web site.

Currently, inorder to allow NVDA to operate successfully on a u3 drive, one currently needs to create an autorun.inf file by hand which points to the nvda.exe file on the u3 drive. While this autorun file is easy to create for experienced computer users, it seems to me that a beginner or somewhat experienced user would be un comfortable doing this task and should have an intuitive way of doing this. I can invision either a utility built into NVDA or packaged with it that would do the following.
