[thelist] How to create autorun file for a CD?

[Herzog, Ari]

As it turns out, that is wrong. I had my index.htm file.
I also had to use a showhtml.ini, autorun.inf and autorun.exe

All works fine now.

Ari:

For those Windows users that allow CD to auto start, place an
"autorun.inf" in the root directory of the CD-ROM. The contents should
look something like this:

[autorun]
open=foo\bar\index.htm

Best of luck!

Hi again. I was assisting someone earlier today in burning a CD
and the question was asked how to have an "index.htm" file load
automatically upon
insertion of the CD. I knew it was an autorun file, and two different
sources on the
web said 1) create autorun.exe and 2) autorun.ini.

So...what is the file I should create? And what is the text to put in
the
file?

Also, this index file is located within a folder within the root.

Thanks!
