| 57862 | 2002-07-02 11:52:00 | A bit more for TAKE 3? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To open or auto-run a text file (readme.txt) you might like to include, notepad, wordpad, metapad, whateverpad, on the CDROM you might like to go in [autorun] open=metapad.exe readme.txt With a space between the program name and file name. ~~~~~~~ end of a bit more ~~~~~~~~ While this works well from a batch file, I have not tested it on a CDROM, I have made a Auto-run CDROM using the method before my original posting and it works well, including on my computer and a couple of other computers I have tired it on. |

| 57863 | 2002-10-10 05:07:00 | Here are some more sources for the autorun.exe file: devx.co. dl-c.com www.simtel.net/pub/pd/33104.htm It seems that the file can be .exe, .com. or .bat . |

| 57864 | 2002-10-10 07:13:00 | Thanks for that Graham. If it can be a .exe, .com or .bat it would be rather easy to whip up a batch file in that case. |

| 57866 | 2002-10-10 08:56:00 | Graham, your links don't work. the second one should have a .html extension, not .htm The first one I don' know. The last one is OK. G P |
