i have this problem about this autorun cd-r, i'd been trying to make my cd-r containing executable file to autorun but still i can't do it. i've tried lots of techniques:

"NOTEPAD"

[autorun]

OPEN = setup.exe

then i saved it the folder where i had saved the program that should be launch automatically then had it burn.. but still did not work.. am i missing something?

i had also noted from researched to different sites that i have to save or place the .inf file to the root/parent directory of the cd-r and i think thats my big problem,, coz i dunno how do it,, i dont even know where is the root of the cd and how to get in there...

please help me out i'm going crazy... i'd been trying to do this for 3 weeks now...

so when you burn your disk the autorun.inf file would be in the top level folder. For example if you pop your CD in the tray and open it in windows explorer you would see something that looks like this

autorun.inf
\folder

Make sense?

If you need more clarification post back and we'll see what we can do for you.

What were you doing at the time when you got this message? Burning a CD with an autorun.inf file in the root should not cause that.

The autorun.inf file must be placed at the root of the CD, not within a folder on the CD.

Also, the device has to be set so that autorun is an option when any CD is popped into the drive. If you've set the device so that it always opens the folder instead, the autorun.inf file won't even be noticed.
