CDRunner

Most of those people who own a CD-Writer, asked themselves: How do I open a file on a CD with autorun?

Since the programmers at Microsoft intended to run only executables with autorun, you have to use a program to start your desired file.
You don't have to write a program to do this, since CDRunner (click here to download - 25KB) does all the work for you.

Step 1. - Create a file named "autorun.inf ", open it in Notepad and add the following lines:

[autorun]
open=CDRunner.exe
icon= (specify here the desired icon you want the CD to display - ex. cd.ico)
file=(add the file you want to be opened - ex. index.html)

Step 2. - Place "CDRunner", "autorun.inf", your iconfile and the file your want to be opened, in the root directory of the CD.

How do I enable Autoplay?
Right-Click on My Computer. Select the "Device Manager" tab. Highlight the CD-ROM and click the Properties button. Select the "Settings" tab. At the "Options" section check the box next to "Auto insert notification". Click OK.
