Autorun

To create an autorun file so that a cd that you make will automatically launch the installer if it has one.
1.open Notepad
2.type [autorun]
3.press enter, then type open=
then after that, write the name of the file you want to run.
Example: open=setup.exe
4.then press enter, if you want an icon to apear type icon=, followed by the name of the icon.
Example: icon=setup.exe
Then save the file as "AUTORUN" including quotes.
Then the next time you burn a cd just simply place the Autorun file on the cd and when you put in the cd it will Automatically start the installer. Make sure you put the correct name on the open= command.

Mod's note: edited for spelling, punctuation and accuracy.
