Slide show & music

I wound like to burn a CD with all my family picture with slide show together with music. I wound like for disk to start up once I put it in the drive. What is needed and the procedures. thanks

You need to create a file called autorun.inf and burn it in the root directory of your CD. It's a simple text file with the following as body:
[autorun]
open=file

where file the name of the file including extention that you need played.

HTH

I don't know of any website to do this I just found a cd that started up on its own, right clicked and pressed explore. I looked at the autorun.inf file and changed it to suit my needs in my own burns. Just follow these steps (Example uses a file called my.mov which represents the file you want played):

1.) open notepad
2.) type this:
[autorun]
open=my.mov
3.) Save the file somewhere
4.) Go to your burning program and import the file autorun.inf that you saved in step 3
5.) put the imported file in the root (top level) directory of the cd
6.) import your movie file (my.mov)
7.) place my.mov in the root directory
8.) burn

p.s. I'm assuming you have a computer with:
-A cd burner
-Some type of burning software
-your compiled slideshow
-Windows
