Hey all. Straight to the point: I'd like iTunes to open when I switch on my external eSATA drive containing my music library. I'm tired of that little window popping up asking me what I want to do every time I switch on the drive. I'd prefer not to have to install any third party utilities, but if need be I just may. Any ideas?
 
open up notepad and paste the following code into it

[AutoRun]
open=itunes.exe (note: youll need to specify the address at which itunes is located and also the executable(.exe) used to launch itunes

Once finished save it as AUTORUN.INF file to your external hdd if your not sure how to do this go to file>save as>and then type "AUTORUN.INF" with the brackets.

I cant gurantee that this wil workl but its a worth shot, and if successful should open itunes when you plug in your external HDD
