Nevcr done it myself but its all to do with the autorun.inf file in the root directory of the CD

Carl Harvey

I want to put a copy of my website onto CD Rom to give to customers.

How do I go about getting the CD to autorun and display the Index page.

Am I likely to have any other problems?

The open command needs to point to an .exe file.

Any other suggestions anyone?

You could always cheat, just get someone you know to write a small exe (in VB, Delphi, C, whatever), that just calls the index page. I could probably throw something together in about 5 mins with Dephi if you want; then call this exe from the autorun.inf file.

Try the shell execute command - The key bit is at the bottom - It allows you to make use of file associations....

<B>shellexecute</B>

Version 5.0. The shellexecute command specifies an application or data file that AutoRun will use to call ShellExecuteEx.

shellexecute=[filepath]filename[param1, [param2]...]

Parameters
filepath
A string containing the fully-qualified path of the directory that contains the data or executable file. If no path is specified, the file must be in the drive's root directory.
filename

If it is a data file, it must be a member of a file class. ShellExecuteEx will launch the default command associated with the file class.
paramx
Any additional parameters that should be passed to ShellExecuteEx.
Remarks

<I><B>This command is similar to open, but it allows you to use file association information to run the application.</B></I>
