OI have tried to loacte an answer to this question for a while now, however, every suggestion I try doesn't seem to work. I am trying to get a Cd to autorun, easy right? Wrong, the file I need to load is a HTML file and the operating system is Windows 2000.

Now I could utilize those dandy little applications that work well and perform the task. But I don't want my users top see a splash screen for the product before going into the HTML file.

I have tried many different forms of lanuage in the autorun.inf file and have tried the ShellExecute files as well. Nothing seems to work.......any suggestions?

For $80 you can purchase "starterfile.exe" and it will do what you need:

Sorry, noticed you middle paragraph. The first link (costs more), does NOT produce any advertising or name of program used when you purchase a registered copy. See the example:

"The registeredversion of StarterFile doesn't produce this popup dialog box but just launches the webpage."
