Autorun - opening a window.

6ix · 2006-05-24 13:25:14

Hi, I know how to make a CD autorun an application upon insertion, but could anyone tell me how do to have the CD automatically open a window showing its contents after it is inserted?

instead of running an app just run explorer instead - you could run "explorer d:\" to open d: drive.

open notepad

Type the following

[autorun]
explorer.exe d: (where d = name of your cd drive)

-> Click File
-> Save As
-> Save As Type = All Files
-> File Name = autorun.inf

Now when burning your CD place autorun.inf at the root
