Publishing to a CD

[jk813790]

I am trying to publish a web to a CD-R to use for promotional purposes but am having trouble making an "Autorun" file. There was a recent Microsoft Assistance Centre article on how to do it and they said to include the following autorun.inf file in the root directory of the cd

[autorun]
open=start index.htm

Index.htm is the file I want to open but it just won't have it.

Is there more to it than this?

For example to create a cd that will autorun the program ‘setup.exe’ would require an AUTORUN.INF file similar to:

[autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe
To create a cd that will autorun to open the html file ‘index.htm’ would require:

[autorun]
ShellExecute=index.htm
icon=index.htm
However, since not all versions of Windows support ‘ShellExecute’ a less elegant alternative would be:

[autorun]
open=command /c start index.htm
icon=index.htm
Be aware that the use of ‘command’ and ‘start’ restrict this to machines running Windows.

hope this helps

Yuo can try this in the autorun.inf:

[AutoRun]
OPEN=start index.html
ICON=whatever.ico

There is also another way.

1) AUTORUN.INF:

[autorun]
open=autorun.bat


2) AUTORUN.BAT:

@start page_name_here.htm
@exit
