Well

1) I don't see any autorun.txt. I see an autorun.ini file.
2) Would this work with the cryptonight  heavy algo fork?
3) How do we know if it is working? I guess I'd have to check the pool balance...
4) Would this survive deepfreeze? or do I need to thaw the system.


To support Deep Freeze it'd have to bypass the process. You need a reboot on each system.

Edit: I've found this fancy vid on youtube explaining it with the autorun.inf:
