Put menus on a cd?

Is there a freeware program that allows me to autostart a cd and
show a menu of what I have on it, then allow the user to click
on what they want to see?

Thanks, Mark

A dozen or so autorun apps are listed here on the ACF pages:

Just put a file on it named autorun.inf. In that file have a line:

[autorun]
on the next line, put "open = " and the filename you want to run - it
has to be an exactable file, of course.

If you want the CD to have its own icon in Explorer, put a second line
"icon = " and the ico file you want, then the "open = " line as the
3rd line.

That's really all there is to it. (No " marks in the file.)

As far as a menu, there are programs to create menus. You want one
that creates an .exe file, so you can use:

open = MyMenu.exe

or whatever you call the exe file the menu program creates.
