A while back I wanted to burn a CD with some pictures on it, but I wanted it to automatically run a slideshow program when it was loaded into the DC rom drive.


This can be used in many ways, for example if you want to burn a DVD with your home movies on it and give it to your mom or something.

Anyway, here is how you make you CD or DVD disk autostart

If you place a file called autorun.inf in the root of the CD-R then the
PC will run the script in it when it is inserted into a PC's CDROM drive.

To make a mpeg movie play all you need to do is use the Windows
START command to launch the media player with your video.

To do this, Create a notepad document called autorun.inf and put the
following blue text into it, Substituting the name of the video with yours....

[autorun]
open=C:\windows\command\start.exe MyVideo.mpg

Remember to save the file as autorun.inf
In the above example it will run the mpeg video called
MyVideo.mpg
