AutoRun freeware

[kenn jolemore]

Does anyone know of a program that can be put on a CD to make it autorun when it is put into the player?I know I used to have a link to one but can not find it now.

Hmmm...

Any CD can be an autorun CD just by creating an "autorun.inf" file in the root directory of the disc. This "autorun.inf" file will contain information similar to:

[autorun]
open=setup.exe

This is a literal copy of one of my company's production CD's. However, if you are looking for a product to assist with more complex needs, like multi-level menu selections for the disc, etc., you might try a little utility called JMENUCD . This utility allows you to create a simple .html page for the menu with any applicable .html editor, and can have multiple branches and levels.
But such a utility is not required simply to make a CD autorun on insertion.

Oh, by the way, you'll have to make certain that your system is configured to ALLOW autorun for this to work. My system, as an example, is configured to allow MUSIC CD's to automatically start, but not data CD's, as I am FAR TOO paranoid to allow anything to automatically run without my approval.

Hope this helps!

Thanks to both of you. That is the link I had earlier and lost in transition awhile back.
I have MSP6.5, DVDWorkshop and Premiere6.5 for complex purposes but just needed something a bit simpler and to the point for a small project I am doing as a favor for a relative.
Thanks again: KennJ
