Re: Create Marketing CD to Autostart or Autorun

["Rick Stone" <rstone75 -at- kc -dot- rr -dot- com>]

Hi Julie

The trick to autorun is simply including a small ASCII text file named 
autorun.inf. Basically you place some commands inside the file that tell 
Windows what to do with it.

Keep in mind that this is a Windows only feature (to the best of my 
knowledge). Also, starting HTML files is problematic. autorun.inf can really 
only start executable files. So you may need a solution in conjunction with 
your Dreamweaver pages. For this, you may want to visit fellow Microsoft 
Help MVP David Liske's site:

Additionally, note that many IT departments now routinely disable the 
autorun feature because they deem it to be a security risk.

Hopefully this helps... Rick :)

Subject: Create Marketing CD to Autostart or Autorun


My team is developing a marketing CD promoting our retail computer
system.  We're going to develop the content in Dreamweaver.  We're in
the process of purchasing Dreamweaver, and I haven't had the opportunity
to use it yet (I plan on downloading the trial version).

Is it possible in Dreamweaver to move the files to CD & have the CD
autostart/autorun as soon as it's detected by the PC.  Is this something
Dreamweaver can do, or do I need another type of utility.

Thanks for your help.
