creat a file named autorun.inf

Look at an autorun file from a CD that auto starts. You'll see the syntax. Additionally, if you use InstallShield Express, there is an option box to generate an autorun file for you.

When a CD is inserted Windows looks for a file named autorun.inf at the root of the media. If it exists then the file is checked and the program you wish to be executed should the OPEN option:

[autorun]
OPEN=DELOLD.EXE

An option is to also specify an icon for the CD:

ICON=DELOLD.ICO
