How to make an auto-run CD that starts with a Web Page

[Marcus Smaby]

I can make a CD that auto-runs by including the autorun.inf file with
contents for

[autorun]
OPEN=someprogram.exe

But I would like to have it open a web page instead of an .exe. But I have
tried contents like

[autorun]
OPEN=contents.htm

and it doesn't seem to work

Anyone know the secret??

TIA

Marcus

Usually you just create a text document called autorun.inf and point it to
the file you want to auto launch. Usually this needs to be an .exe file, so,
html files won't directly work. You will need a helper app that will write
and .exe and autorun.inf for you to launch the first web page. Search google
or download.com for cd autorun software.
