you just create a file called autorun.inf in the CD root directory, with the following content: [autorun] OPEN=your_command ICON=youricon.ico replace your_command by the program or command you wish to start. For example if your CD contains setup.exe, add OPEN=setup.exe replace youricon.ico by the file with your icon. For example copy youricon.ico file to the CD's root directory and use ICON=youricon.ico You can also use ICON=setup.exe when your setup program has an icon. To be able to use autorun, your windows must be configured correctly. Some software (vmware for example) disables autorun functionality. There is no way how to force your computer to start autorun from the CD if it's disabled in windows. |

In Windows the CD Autorun function can be disabled through the registery settings, or on a CD by CD basis, simply by holding down the Shift Key as the CD "launches": [MS Support: How to Disable CD Autorun in Windows] http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q155/2/17.ASP Depending on the intended application, one might also be interested in booting from a CD, which is possible with reasonably current CD ROM drives. regards, mathtalk-ga |

As is said above you can create an autorun.inf file using some easy third party tools, which also help with right click menus. If autorun is enabled it would work, if not you're out of luck. As for setting it up to run on right click RIGHT AWAY, you could use autorun to run a program that watches for this right click. As for starting up after a boot, it would have to be in the Run list in the registry, or even more complex, it would have to boot from the CD and access the file system to add that key to the registry, and then transfer control to Windows. Sounds like a mischeivous endevor in any case. |
