creating an autorun CD

[VERT]

I have made a website and I am going to be putting it onto a CD, how do you create an autorun for the CD so it runs the index.htm file automatically when you insert the CD into a drive?

since i just got told how to do this i can tell you

create new text file, type in

[autorun]
open=yourpage.html


Save it, rename the extension to .inf
make sure it's in the root of the cd

thats it!

The file needs to be called autorun.inf

What is the great need for autorun cds?
Most people I know have disabled the autorun feature

The info is absolutely correct, check out the recent 'how to create .iso' thread for additional info on this autorun matter.

Here's the thread for reference:

wow thats pretty simple, thanks guys,

Muno, the average user does not disable autorun, ie my friend who im making this cd for - she probably wouldnt even know how to.

didn't work, I get an error saying "Access to speified device, path, or file is denied"

if i double click on my cdrom I get the error "D:\ is not a valid Win32 application"

I can explore the directory fine and I have to autorun in the route of the cd with the index.htm file

[VERT]

so I get the feeling that an autorun cd will only work with an application (.exe) file, if this is so can I convert the webpage to and application file?

[VERT]

these guys had a solution for me

I was correct in assuming that the autorun only works with a .exe file
