Creating AutoPlay CD

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a reliable way to create a data CD that automatically launches a specific file when the disk is inserted (the key word here is RELIABLE). What I would like is to have a specific .htm file automatically launch when the disk is inserted on ANY system. The CD primarily contains .htm files and images (it's a giant browser-based wireframe). The disks are CD-R and I am creating them as read-only so they are completely closed off when created. There will be multiple copies so the more consistent the better.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stryker

A "reliable" autorun file requires more than just you to make the autorun correctly, it requires the user's computer to allow autorun. If you ignore than little technicality (that autoplay may be disabled) take a look at this article : http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0499/win32/win320499.aspx for good details on creating an autorun openning an HTML

Thanks Statica!
This is perfect. I have access to all of the laptops that will be using the CDs so ensuring AutoPlay is ensabled is no problem. Your link should be exactly what I need.
Thanks again,
Stryker
