AUTORUN Explorer

[David Martin]

I am trying to burn a Picture album and get html file autorun when the CD
inserted - all the examples and KB articles I find use .exe's.

I have tried

[autorun]
ICON=favicon.ico
OPEN=INDEX.HTML

[autorun]
ICON=favicon.ico
OPEN=IEXPLORE.EXE index.htm

What happens with both is I get:
Y:thedevice is not ready
(at load time and also using AUTOPLAY from explorer,howeverEXPLORE works
fine and my icon is displayed for the CD)

This must be easy to do ! can anyone give me a clue please.

David.

This small freeware file will launch any app but must also be included in the
root of the CD with the autorun.inf file.

Syntax would be:

OPEN=shellout.exe index.html

or simply;

OPEN=shellout index.html

This will launch whatever app is associated with the html file in a system.

Download Shellout.exe from here:

Notes: If you have the index.htm(l) file contained in a folder, you must include
its path in the statement. The file extension of the HTML file must match the
actual file being called.
