I have created a index.htm website which I need to have an auto run feature installed. The objective is,that as soon as I put the CD in the CD ROM, my index.htm (homepage) needs to automatically come up on the screen. The remaining pages can be veiwed from there.

Please tell me how to configure this auto run feature into my website homepage.

I have tried the following:

[autorun]
OPEN=index.html
ICON=image001.ico

I get an error and it won't run.

thank you.

Try:

[autorun]
OPEN=c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe /index.html
ICON=image001.ico

index.html and image001.ico have to be in the root folder on the CD, or else you need to specify paths to them, too.

Or, try:

http://autorun.moonvalley.com/

SyscoKid is right, however not everyone has windows installed on the C drive.
Autorun.inf is ONLY capable of running executables (i.E .EXE .COM .VBS ... files)
You will need a third party software to do what you want to do. Just search the Internet, there is tons of free/shareware for that purpose.
