Automatically open index.html on a CD insert

Click here to download autorun

There are several such programs on the market but this one is 100% free (gratis) and you can download the source as well.

Instructions 1. Create a file with notepad or any text edit program and name it 'AUTORUN.INF'. 2. Copy and paste the following in the file:

[autorun] open=start.exe label=cdname

and replace 'cdname' with the label you gave to your cd.

3. Place it on the root of your CD-ROM next to the program start.exe (use right mouse click and save as...). 4. Name your start HTML page 'index.html' and save it next to the program start.exe.

Burn your CD and you will see that after you insert it in your cd-player it will open your index.html file automatically.

Basically the program 'start.exe' just starts your internet browser and opens the index.html page. This program was 'written' in about 15 minutes, if you don't understand the instructions or you have any other questions please let me know.. Feedback will be appreciated. If you would like to have the source code to build your own application please let me know.

You might want to change the icon of the program using a utility such as ResHacker or so.
