| I would like to distribute some CDs for marketing purposes and am
interested in the AutoRun files I see on commercial CDs.
Does anyone know the specifics of creating a file on the CD that will
automatically launch my marketing files (HTML or Flash)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

| to make a cd autorun you need a file named autorun.inf
you can create this file with notepad and save it as autorun.inf it should
look like this
[AUTORUN]
OPEN=FILENAME.BAT
The only catch is it will not open html or flash documents in order to do
this you need to have the autorun file open a batch file that opens the html
or flash. you can make a batch file the same way you do an autorun file but
save it filename.bat and it should look like this
START FILENAME.HTML
CLS
for an example of these files see attachments. to look at the batch file
right click it and choose edit.
