help with my first Autorun 2

[BillNielsen]

I'm trying to create an autorun procedure that will start Internet Explorer and display a HTML file. The autorun file looks like this:

[autorun]
open=index.html
icon=myIcon.ico

When I put the CD in, the CD spins, the cursor flickers for a second (change to hourglass), then stop.

Can anyone help me here.

Thanks,
Bill N

Hi
I did this ages ago and seem to remember 2 files

1)Autorun.inf:
[AutoRun]
ICON=myicon.ico
OPEN=ShellExecute.bat Home.htm

2)ShellExecute.bat:
Start ./%1

Hope this helps
Storm

Thanks Storm,

I found out that AutoRun only works with .exe but your solution is creative and best of all it works.

Thanks again,
Bill N

P.s. I posted this same question in the VB forum and no one has even responded even though the VB forum has four times the members that this Delphi forum has.

See Bill,

Delphi people are much nicer ;-)

BobbaFet Everyone has a right to my opinion.
