Title: Autorun .txt file?
Post by: Simon on March 06, 2006, 22:39

I want to create a CD with an Autorun .txt file, so that when the user loads the CD, a Readme I have written appears, instead of the installation automatically launching.  Can this be done, and if so, how do I create an Autorun file of this nature?

Hi Simon,

**EDIT** SORRY - Looks a bit more complicated - see http://www.phdcc.com/shellrun/autorun.htm

Make a text file called autorun.inf and include the following

Code: [Select]


[autorun]
open=readme.txt
icon=readme.ico


Replace the readme.txt with whatever your readme file is called.

That should work.

Have a look at http://autorun.moonvalley.com/autoruninf.htm for more info.
