There must be a way to MANUALLY run the Sandisk U3 flash drive autoplay!
But how?

When I plug in the encrypted sandisk u3 flash drive to one of my laptops, I
can see two drives, namely:
U3 System (D:) Removable Disk (E:)

When I click on the "U3 System (D:)", I can see three files:
autorun.inf LaunchPad.zip LaunchU3.exe

How do I manually launch the sandrive u3 system on this laptop so that it
asks for my password?

Note: On other laptops, it works fine. I suspect someone disabled flash
drive autoplay (which from googling, is a good thing but I can not find
instructions on how to run the ubiquitous sandrive U3 encryption once
autoplay is disabled!

Help!
How do I manually run the sandisk u3 encryption program so that it asks for
my password?

BTW, the SanDisk U3 USB flash drive autoplay encryption dialog does pop up
on other Windows XP laptops so I'm sure it's something different about this
laptop.

This laptop won't autoplay anything so I suspect autoplay has been turned
off (again, this is a good thing).

All I am asking (and I'm not sure whom to ask) is ........
How do I manually tell the sandisk u3 encryption system to run?

I installed TweakUI version 2.10.0.0 and checked "My Computer > AutoPlay >
Enable Autoplay for CD and DVD drives" and I checked "My Computer >
AutoPlay > Enable Autoplay for removable drives" but it didn't do anything.

Besides, I don't want to enable autoplay (I like that it won't autoplay).

All I want to do is manually run the sandisk u3 encryption program to ask
me what the password is.

But, when I doubleclick on D:\LaunchU3.exe, nothing happens except it
brings up an empty folder on my WinXP hard drive C:\Documents and
Settings\sherry\Application Data\U3\

On another windows PC, I can certainly unencrypt the contents of the
Sandisk U3 flash drive. That isn't the problem. I WANT the data encrypted.

I just want the SanDisk U3 program to ASK for the password.

But without autoplay, the Sandisk U3 flash drive doesn't ask for the
password on this computer.

When I click on the Sandisk U3 LaunchPad.zip, I can unzip the files but
none of them, when I click on them, do anything to bring up the password.

Likewise, I can't get the autorun.inf to do anything.
Here is what the autorun.inf file contains.
[AutoRun]
open=LaunchU3.exe -a
icon=LaunchU3.exe,0

I was hopeful when you mentioned this but alas, all it did when I executed
"F:\launchu3.exe -a" was bring up the same thing on the pc which was
"C:\documents and settings\sherry\application data\"
which isn't the same thing as bringing up the encryption dialog.

I even unzipped the "F:\LaunchPad.zip" which contains the following:
10/23/2007 09:27 AM 110,592 cleanup.exe
10/23/2007 09:22 AM 3,350,528 Launchpad Removal.exe

None of these fit but I'll try them somehow ...

U3 Launchpad
1. When I insert my U3 smart drive I receive an error message and the U3
Launchpad does not run
2. I have found that sometimes when I have a DVD in my PC the Launchpad
starts really slowly...
