RE: Writing/Recording student e-portfolio to a CD
(built with Frontpage)
I am learning Frontpage by referring to a few
tutorials. I have used two other web design programs in
the past.
Once I have the web page finished (with links of sample
student projects) how do I publish this as an exe file
and write it to a CD. This will not be a web-site; but
is a student e-portfolio record that needs to be
recorded onto a CD.
1. Create a folder for your CD image, such as c:\temp\cd.
2. Publish your Web site to a subfolder such as
c:\temp\cd\website.
3. In what will become the root of your CD, create a text
file named autorun.inf. This file should contain
two lines:
[autorun]
OPEN=\website\default.htm
where default.htm is your home page.
4. Use your CD creator program to burn the c:\temp\cd
folder (and all subfolders) to the CD.
You may also want to read MSKB articles 172078 and
818804 .
Note that both of these articles open a exe file rather
than an htm file. Opening an htm file will start the
default application for that filename extension, usually
IE. But if you need an actual startup program:
1. Find an existing cd that does what you want.
2. Copy its autorun.inf file and associated components
into your cd preparation folder.
3. Modify to suit.
