Last lesson we looked at making a Window’s based CD automatically boot, and adding your own unique icon.

Here the script I had on the board, which when placed in a text file called autorun.inf will cause the CD to autoboot;

[autorun]
open=ShellRun.exe index.htm Starting CD now..
icon=<myIconFile>.ico

The above will do the following;

ShellRun.exe index.htm will cause a web browser to open the web-page of index.htm in the root directory of the CD.  The text “Starting CD now…” should be displayed.

The CD will have the icon <myIconFile>.ico, also in the root doirectory of the CD.  NB: Please change the <myIconFile> to the name of the file you are using.

Here are the URLs with the info;
