Autorun CDs

[Ashley Rimmer]

Hi All
Hope someone can help,my wife has created a presentation package on CDrom for her works customers to view their services. The presentation has been created with Front Page 2000. Our question is how do we make the CD autorun rather than the user going through Start>Run>Browse and finding the index page.
Any help would be gratfully recieved and thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Ash

It's really pretty easy. You just need to create a text file named autorun.inf in the root directory of the CD. In the file, you can put the path to the program or file to execute when the CD is inserted. You can also point to an icon to display as the CD icon (in explorer, etc.). Here's an example of an autorun.inf file: [autorun]
OPEN=install.exe
ICON=install.ico
You can look at any CD that has an autorun.inf file on it to see other options you can do in the file.
