How do I make an Autorun CD?

[Guest]

I have a powerpoint presentation show save on CD. How do I make it Autorun
when inserted into CD-Rom drive.

You just create a file called autorun.inf in the CD root directory, with the
following content:

[autorun]
OPEN=your_command
ICON=youricon.ico

replace your_command by the program or command you wish to start. For example
if your CD contains setup.exe, add OPEN=setup.exe

replace youricon.ico by the file with your icon. For example copy youricon.
ico file to the CD's root directory and use ICON=youricon.ico

You can also use ICON=setup.exe when your setup program has an icon.

To be able to use autorun, your windows must be configured correctly. Some
software (vmware for example) disables autorun functionality. There is no way
how to force your computer to start autorun from the CD
if it's disabled in windows.

Or you may try Wondershare PPT2Flash (

auto-run CD.
