Help With Autorun??

[Edwin]

Can someone help me with the autorun feature? I coded it as shown in the FAQ, but it does not work. Any ideas?

Hi Edwin,

Example: your presentation is called: xxx.exe.

1. Open Notepad.

2. Write:

[autorun]

open=xxx.exe

3. Save file as: autorun.txt

4. Change file name to: autorun.inf

5. autorun.inf and xxx.exe must be in the root of the CD. If you put your presentation in a folder and burn the folder then:

if folder name "Presentation"

[autorun]

open=Presentation\xxx.exe

in this case and always the autorun.inf must be in the root of the CD (not in the folder).

If you want Explorer to show your icon you write:

[autorun]

open=xxx.exe

icon=xxx.exe,0 (that is zero)

if you add your icon to the root of the CD you can write:

[autorun]

open=xxx.exe

icon=zzz.ico

when zzz.ico is your icon name.

That's all I know, hope it works for you.

...and be sure to determine that autorun is enabled on your system!

Brian (I only say this, because I spent several frustrating hours one day racking my brain trying to figure out what I was doing "wrong"... only to realize that the autorun feature on my Win98 system was shut off! (I had created the slideshow on my WinME laptop).

Good luck,

Brian

and make sure you aren't using two or more words as the title. That didn't work for me.
