stonemason Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi nct welcome to the forumI use a freeware app called ShelExec available here http://www.naughter.com/shelexec.html copy this to the root of your CD and create an autorun inf like this[autorun]open=ShelExec.exe What to run.exesave this into the root of your cd also substituting your own exe for what to run.exe I produced a multi show CD earlier this year which was duplicated 500 times for our camera clubs national exhibition and not one failed to run. hope this is of some helpRegardsGeoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am burning both of them to a cd--is there a certain program I have to use to burn them--I cant figure this out. I presume you mean "autorun.inf" ?? I don't see any difference between the two versions you provided. I also presume you named the show you are burning, slideshow.exe". Also, don't forget to include your slideshow.exe on the cd with the other files.If your slideshow has a different name from the one you mentioned, make sure there are no spaces in the name. If there are, be sure to put quotation marks around it.Most of the burning programs available today are satisfactory in putting your files onto a cd.

alrobin Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hello:I don´t know very much, but in autorun.infthe icon=xxxx.iconot icon=xxx.exe Sorry, icon=xxxx.exe is legitimate - it tells the cd to take the icon from the exe file.I might point out, however, that this icon line is optional - it doesn't need to be used if one doesn't need to have the cd show up with a specific icon.

Conflow Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 AUTORUN WIZARDJust download "Autorun Wizard" from RJL Software ~ Its a very nice, small tidy Program that does a lot more than the scripted 'Notepad.inf' approach. It's also very reliable.Click Link below:-http://www.rjlsoftware.comBrian.Conflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I second Brian's suggestion - it's definitely worth the small amount of money involved. It's what I turned to when I was having trouble with my Win XP system recognizing the CD's as "autorun" with just the "inf" script installed. However, lately, both of my pc's seem to behave OK when I insert a disk with the "autorun.inf" instruction included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
