I have been asked to create a CD for someone. They have a load of PPT presentations they want on the CD, and they want some kind of a menu to choose from them.

I will do a web-based front menu page cos that will be easy, but how do i set up the autorun.exe file so that the page launches automatically when the CDROM is put in the drive ?

Cheers

Dave

I think you just need an autorun.inf file in the root of the CD, something like:

[autorun]
open=index.htm

Although, I'm probably completely wrong

The Browsercall program worked a treat.

If you put

[autorun]
open=index.htm

it fails as index.htm is not a valid 32bit Windows application, its a file.

Cheers for your help Dunk !

Cool. Did it create an autorun.inf for you ? If so, what did it put in it ? Or did it create an exe ?

It created an autorun.inf file which contained:

[autorun]
open=browsercall.exe guff.htm
icon=guff.bmp

i just put the browsercall.exe program on the cd in the root dir with the autorun.inf file and hey presto !
