Thanks Seth, this works. I also found two good articles at MSDN. One tells
you how to enable autoplay on floppy/Zip discs (****really cool tip, good
for testing****):
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q136/2/14.asp
Basically, the trick is to change this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
   Software\
      Microsoft\
         Windows\
            CurrentVersion\
               Policies\
                  Explorer\
                     "NoDriveTypeAutoRun"
from %95 to %91 (the article explains why).

The other article presents some alternatives for autoplaying HTML on CDs:
