Running IE from autorun.inf when CD inserted

[kwc]

I have created several html pages and trying to put them
on a CD and get IE to open to the first page when the CD
is inserted. I'vd tried to run iexplore.exe in various
ways, but cannot get it to work. Is it possible?
From Windows Run command I get it to do exactly what I
want, but the same OPEN command in the autorun.inf will
not work. My CD drive does autorun other CDs. Thanks.

Hey kwc,

I didn't burn this on a CD but it worked with the thumbdrive that I have:

[autorun]
shellexecute=test.htm


Basically, open won't work for you because it doesn't really know how to
open the file and if you try to start it with iexplore.exe, it doesn't know
where to pick up the .htm file from. You need to use the shellexecute
command. You can read up on the other commands that autorun.inf can use by
checking out

thanks,
will
