burning CD with start file
-
Hi not sure where to post this, or even if CP is the right place, but hope it's OK here... so I've burnt a CD with a single HTML file in the root folder called home.html When inserted in the drive (D: ) a popup windows appears with options to a) Install or run programs from your media Run home.html b) Open folder to view files if I click b) I can then double-click home.html adn it will open fine in my default browser. But if I click on a's option to "Run home.html" i just get an error message saying "D:\ is not a valid WIn32 application" As this CD is one I want to diostribute to various people I can't ask them to make any changes to their computers - is there some other solution to the way I burn the CD - ie the files I burn to it - that can allow them to open the .htrml files whichever way they choose?

Thanks - I did have my own autorun.inf file, but actually I think I had the wrong command in it! Just a simple
[autorun]
shellexecute=home.htmlseems ot do it.

This should work too. If not, autorun may be disabled on your system.
