Making an index page come up on CD

[Debra]

I have our company's Policy and Procedures on our intranet. My boss wants the
contents of those to go on a CD. No problem. But is it possible to have my
index page come up automatically when the CD in inserted? That way the users
see the index page and all links are there, just as if there were on the
website ? I don't want them to have to navigate through the CD. I'm using
FrontPage 2003.

Thanks,
Debra

Create an Autorun.inf file
Open Notepad and enter these two lines making sure the filename and extension are correct.

[AUTORUN]
shellexecute= foldername\index.html


Click Save as and name it autorun.inf

Burn it to the CD "Outside" of the folder that contains the web page.
