I know this isnt strctly the correct forum but im hoping someone out there can help me.

I have a cd that i distribute to engineers. On the cd is a webpage with links to things that are on the disc.

I was wondering how i get it so that when someone puts in the cd the autorun feature of windows activates the webpage on the disc and opens it in explorer or netscape etc.

Im not sure i have made myself clear so if anyone needs more information feel free to ask!
 
Check out this thread. This software seems to have helped out a few people with similar predicaments:

Its quite simple, just make a text file called autorun.txt and put the following 3 lines into it:

[autorun]
OPEN=path to program or webpage
ICON=path to icon (if you want to include one)

The icon is the icon that wil be displayed for the CD (like when go into my computer)Must be included on cd if you choose to add this.

Then change the file type/name to autorun.inf and place it on the cd.
