Autorun CD

I am trying to make a powerpoint or webpage autorun when I create a CD. In notepad I typed
[autorun]
open=presentation.htm
and saved it as autorun.inf

Where am I going wrong? Can you use caps or spaces when making an autorun cd? Thanks.

I think you can only do an executable.

Try something like . . .

[autorun]
open=%SYSTEMROOT%\explorer.exe presentation.htm

That should prompt IE to open it up.
