CD

[Kaitlin]

I am working on a marketing CD for my employer using FrontPage. The CD is
set up in a website format, but will not be published to a browser. I can
burn all of the files onto a CD, but I am looking to set up the files/CD to
where the client can put the CD into their computer and the Index file will
automatically pop up and they are ready to browse the "website". Right now
when I put the CD in, all that comes up are all of the associated files for
the "website". They won't know to click on the Index file to view the
"website".
Can someone tell me what I need to do?
Thank you.

Open notepad and copy The following two lines into it:

[autorun]
shellexecute=webfoldername\index.htm



If the index.htm is inside a folder on the CD change webfoldername to the name of the folder.

If it is not in a folder, change shellexecute=webfoldername\index.htm
to simply shellexecute=index.htm

Make sure index.htm exactly mathes the page you want opened
index.htm or index.html and so on.

Save the file with the name autorun.inf and then burn it to the CD
It must *not* be in a folder on the CD
