I doubt this is possible, but if it is, C# has nothing to do with it, you'll have to do some sort of shell extension to support this, when autorun is turned off.

Any idea about how to that??

No, I'm not sure it's even possible, but it will be written in C++ and the user will need to install it in order for it to work, so you're back at trying to make the user run something.

Just a note: auto-run is evil. This is one of the most unsafe features. In some good companies, all employees receive recommendations on how to disable it in their systems, in other cases, this is also a company policy. In practice, you should disable auto-run, too, to avoid trouble.
