Hi,

What is the current CD Autorun favorite?

I would like to have one that will open a particular PDF file when the CD is
inserted.

TIA

Place this in a file called autorun.inf

[AutoRun]
open=some_pdf_file.pdf

Additionally add the following line if you'd like an icon (icon can be
whatever you wish).

icon=some_icon.ico, 0

Where some_pdf_file.pdf is the name of the PDF file you wish to run and
some_icon.ico is the icon you wish to use.

Alternatively;

Hi,

It works very well with a .pdf, but when I tried it with a Word document it
refuses to auto open. I tried it with Karenware's editor... same results, no
joy...

Here's what I have in the CD;

---- This one works ------
[Autorun]
open=Index.pdf
 
---------------------------

---- This does not --------
[Autorun]
open=Index.doc
--------------------------

Any idea why?

TIA
Check the documentation for word. You may need to
add a command line option.

With myalbum, (a photo album manager), the command is
open=MyAlbum.exe album.alb /play
 
---------------------------

---- This does not --------
[Autorun]
open=Index.doc
--------------------------

Any idea why?

open=MyAlbum.exe album.alb /play

Also, check out CDStarter from
http://www.wentnet.com/projects/cdstarter/

It is easy to use and gives you a menu of
programs, from which you select which one
to open.
