CD Autorun Programs

Well Steve, Claymore comes to the rescue... "Although I haven't done exactly what you're proposing, I think it's quite possible. I could probably do it from scratch using just Word and an Autorun file, but this freeware utility might make things easier. Scroll down the page (it's worth reading!) till you find the download link. On the same page, you will find HTMLautoplay.zip; also very useful, also freeware. Don't forget to create at least a simple Autorun file with at least these three lines:

[autorun]
open=xxxxx.xxx
icon=xxxxxx.xxx

The open command would point to the program you want to start when the CD is inserted. The icon command can point to a program and will extract its icon to display for the CD drive in Explorer. The file is always saved with the name autorun.inf and burned to the CD. Good luck!" [Jim and his Hosting Special]
