Autorun on Windows
The autorun feature on Windows is implemented by putting an INF file in the parent
directory of the CD. Create a text file (using a program such as Simple Text
or Notepad) called "Autorun.inf". Include the following text, replacing
whatever with the name of the application you wish to launch:
[Autorun]
open=whatever.exe
icon=whatever.ico
The third line ( icon=whatever.ico ) allows you to change the icon associated
with the CD drive . For additional information on creating an autorun CD, refer
to Microsoft's article on creating an AutoRun-enabled application.
