[thelist] Here is how to create an autohtml file for CD

[Herzog, Ari]

Hi all...

Here is a tip which explains how, when creating a CD from scratch,
to have it automatically open and run a HTML file:

1) Create a file called AUTORUN.INF which contains
the following text:
[AUTORUN]
open=autohtml.exe
icon=<name of your icon>

2) Use a file called AUTOHTML.EXE which is downloadable
from the web. I found it at http://www.chameleonusa.com/amerigraph/
although you may want to mirror it locally.

3) Create a file called SHOWHTML.INI which contains
the following text:
[DISPLAY]
htmlfile=myfile.html

4) Use your myfile.html for the opening page.


Note: If you don't want to view the autorun.exe splash screen,
then in the autorun.inf file, add the /s attribute.

Also, a hard copy of this process is definitively found at:

Hope this helps,
Ari
