CD Autoplay

[Earl Partridge]

I have a 3rd party slide show program (.exe file) that I want to use
to view my slide show. In Autorun.inf I specify that this .exe file
should be started and the file name containing the slide show.

When the CD is inserted, I'm given options to use Windows Media
Player... plus some other options, but I don't see anyway to autoplay
the CD with my 3rd party application.

Use 'Open to View files in Windows Expolorer'. It is Explorer that then
handles the autorun

Changing to view files in Explorer only opens a view of the files contained
on the CD... does not invoke the autorun.inf.

Then use a tool that MS staff developed to fix Autoplay problems: Not
official so not on the MS site, but you can get it at

That appears to have fixed a problem.
Thanks.
