Does anyone know how to write an autorun file that will cause a website (saved on cd) to automatically open the computer's default browser and load the index.htm file? I read that the typical autorun file won't work because there has to be another set of commands to determine the default browser and call it first. Seems to me, though, that opening the index.htm file would automatically cause the browser to open, much like clicking on a word document will open word...

u need to put autorun.inf on root of cd

autorun.inf need to have in this:

[autorun]
open=iexplore.exe index.htm
icon=youricon.ico

try it

There are two simple ways to get what you want.

1. Use autorun.bat file. This method is simple but you will get black terminal window blinking on CD autorun. Root files on CD are:

--- autorun.inf ---
[autorun]
open=autorun.bat
icon=youricon.ico

--- autorun.bat ---
index.htm

2. Use autorun.exe file. This method is less simple (but still simple). Write an executable that executes applications specifien in param strings. Id you have difficulties with it I could write autorun.exe for you

--- autorun.inf ---
[autorun]
open=autorun.exe index.htm
icon=youricon.ico

--- autorun.exe ---
