I have set up a web page to run as the main page of a CD from which one can download some docs. I want to set up autorun so the page is opened the moment the cd is opened. I placed an autorun app and set it up but it has refused to work on another machine. Is there a script or something I can use that's easy for a non techie like me? Kags
Hi Al Kags Having an autorun application alone will not work. You also need an autorun.inf file to call the application. The file must be called autorun.inf and at the root of the CD or the media you are using. Example : [autorun] shellexecute=<file name goes here, can be .exe, .htm> On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 3:28 PM, Al Kags <alkags@gmail.com> wrote:

I can't remember the name - cos I hardly run windows - but if you google it, i know there is a free application for putting into your autorun.inf which does exactly what you want - it's the one you find on some magazine CDs, and Compaq used to use it on their support CDs many moons back ;) hth, Tony 2009/7/28 Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com>:
