you can't just call an HTML page via Windows autorun, it won't
work...
that being said, here's a freeware executable that acts as sort of a
proxy to the autorun:
http://duckware.com/winopen.html
WinOpen 1.2a
Open HTML files in a CD AUTORUN.INF
For Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, etc.
This program is freeware and subject to use under a license
agreement. If you use this program, please send us an e-mail
letting us know how you are using it and how well (or not) is has
worked for you.
TIP: Actually WinOpen will open any file type as long as the
computer running your CD has a program associated with that file
type (eg: pdf, doc, txt, bmp, jpg, mpg).
