39466 2002-03-16 22:12:00 Hey guys,
I've just had this brilliant brain-wave. I'm making a cd full of pics, vids for a digital camera (plus other sources) and allll this other stuff and sending it to a friend overseas. I was wondering how to add an auto run feature, so when you put the cd in it will automatically open index.htm (its all in html). I don't have a cd writer but ill take it to a mates (who doesn't know how to use his).
If you could help that'd be great, i couldn't give you the specs or software or the cd writer but i can find out if needed.

Ta,

Tones

[autorun]
open=index.htm icon=autorun\MyIcon.ico dialog title = My Vids/Pics

Make sure they are all in the root directory.
To compare look at PC worlds(or any other) autorun.inf on there CD(open with notepad)
