Make a autorun file for your cd.


You might have seen the cd provided by the software companies runs a
install file automatically when you insert the cd to your computer.
Have you ever wanted to make a simillar type of cd? here is the solution for it.



Just follow these steps and you will make a professional looking cd which runs automatically.

Follow these steps before you burn files into a cd.

1> Open notepad.

2> Now write :

[autorun]
OPEN=INSTALL\Setup_file.EXE
ICON=INSTALL\Setup_file.ico

you can change “setup_file.exe” and “setup_file.ico” to the file you want to run. “setup_file.ico” Refers to the icon of the programme. Its not compulsary.

3> now save this file as desktop.ini

4>Now burn the files in your cd and include the desktop.ini file we made in the root directory of the cd.

5>you have done it! now you made a autorun file for your cd. When you insert your cd into your computer it will automatically run the file you choosed.

    It seems fine, except for the icon part.

    I think the icon part should be something like

    ICON=INSTALL\Setup_filename.ico
    but not .exe
