try these:
first choice:

Four files need to be in the root directory of the CD:
AUTORUN.INF
AUTOHTML.EXE
SHOWHTML.INI
[your index.htm]
Autorun.inf tells autohtml.exe to run.
Autohtml.exe looks for showhtml.ini
Showhtml.ini says to use index.htm.
There is going to be a splash screen for autohtml by
the guy who made it. It can be disabled by running
the program with the /s option (this is okay with
him).

[autorun]
open=start.exe
where start.exe was an executable, but could also be an HTML file.
That'd depend on two things:
1. They have a browser, or something associated wiht the htm/html
extension
2. They have autoplay enabled.
