How to make an autostart CD Page

Most CDs will automatically start and run whenever you insert them into your CD-ROM drive.
If you're making your own CD-R you might find this useful as well. Here's how:

1. Create a text file on the CD and name it autorun.inf

2. Insert this into the first line of the autorun.inf file: [autorun]

3. What you type after this depends on what you would like autorun to do. If you would like autorun to automatically run, say, CD Player, then add this to the line after [autorun]: open=cdplayer.exe

The contents of autorun.inf will now look like this:

   [autorun]

   open=cdplayer.exe

Substitute whatever executable file you would like to open the CD, and, voila, that's it!
