CD-ROM Autorun startup question

[mike]

What do you put in the Autorun.inf file that will make a CD-ROM
autostart a INDEX.HTML file using Windows Internet Explorer
(iexplore) ??


Thank you

Put the following two lines in AUTORUN.INF:

[AutoRun]
Open=explorer.exe index.html

(Note: It's not Iexplorer.)
(Note: Don't copy Explorer.exe to the cd.)
(Note: You don't need no stinking START or SHELLOUT.)
(Note: It opens the default browser.)

On a Win9x system, just
open=start index.html

On an NT system, you can force MSIE with
open=explorer index.html

or you can fire up the user's default browser with an auxiliary program
such as SHELLOUT.EXE (freeware at my WWW site) and
open=shellout index.html
