I have done this and it works great!

1. Download Irfanview in zip format from this link.
2. When building the CD image, put in your pictures and include the files "i_view32.exe" and "i_view32.cnt" (you can also include "i_view32.hlp" if you want) from the zip file you just downloaded.
3. Make a text file named "autorun.inf" (no quotes) with the following text:

Code:

[autorun]
OPEN=i_view32.exe IMAGE.JPG
ICON=i_view32.exe

Replace "IMAGE.JPG" with the name of the first image you want them to see.

4. Include the new autorun.inf file on your image and burn it.

When they pop in the CD, Irfanview will run automagically showing the image you want them to see. Irfanview is freeware and does not need to be "Installed" to run properly. It also includes the benefit of "Back" and "Forward" buttons allowing them to browse all the images on the CD.

Irfanview also includes a slideshow feature, although I'm not sure how to make it run automatically. I will do some checking, and let you know how to do it if I find out that it can be done.
