cdr menu creator

does anyone know of a freeware cd menu creator?
I have tried CD Menu Creator by Traction software but I cannot get it to work, I know this program has received good reviews but I must be doing something wrong, the directions are not real clear to me, if someone has used this could you explain it's use,all I want to do is have a menu pop up when cd is placed in drive and be able to start .exe files from there, please provide step by step instructions,thanks
