Getting Files on CD to Autolaunch

[Aranion]

Newbie to the forums here, so forgive me if this is not the right area to post this.

I've created a personalized set of Web pages for a friend that I will be burning onto a CD-R. I would really like for the index page to autolaunch in their web browser when they load the CD. I also often bring burned copies of my online resume to job interviews, and it would be very helpful to have this feature on those as well, so that prospective employers don't have to hunt for the index file themselves.

Is there a way to do this? Some code or command I can burn onto the CD-R?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Not sure if you can autostart a web browser.... maybe you can. But one method I've used a number of times is to create a small Flash file which contains a getURL command. This URL can be a Web page on the CD or on the Internet... it doesn't matter. Then instead of just publishing this Flash file as a .swf, publish it as a Projector file. This is a self-contained executable file which contains the .swf and other stuff needed to run the program independent of the Internet or even a Flash player. It will play off the CD all by itself.
Now to get that executable file (intro.exe) to auto run and get to the url you want, include a small text file on the CD called "autorun.inf" ..... here's a sample of what it looks like:
[autorun]
open=intro.exe
icon=faviconThis will autorun the program intro.exe (created as Flash projector) in PCs unless the user has auto run turned off. Flash will also create the files for MAC but your autorun needs to be designed specifically for MAC.
Google for autorun.inf for more info
