I recently scanned family pictures and want to make CD's to give the
family. Because of the user level of a lot of the family members I
want to auto start
the default browser with the index html file. I have produced a cd
image that looks like this:

AUTORUN.inf 1 KB 10/20/2005 8:53:38 PM
Van/ 10/19/2005 8:32:17 PM
White/ 10/19/2005 8:36:59 PM
begin.htm 2 KB 10/20/2005 8:32:56 PM

img/ 10/20/2005 9:03:44 PM
old/ 10/19/2005 8:39:57 PM

The autorun looks like this:

[autorun]
open=begin.htm
icon=img\gvphoto.ico

When I burn a CD and load it begin.htm doesn't come up in a browser.
The icon does get used. I am not a windows programmer, I usually work
with a different OS. What line of attact should I take on this?

Send me an email and I'll send you a zip file with what I've used to do what
you want. It takes a couple of HTML files and an exe file. There maybe
easier ways but this way worked great for me.

Hi Gary,

You need to amend your autorun.inf file with this.

[autorun]shellexecute=begin.htm

You should replace the "open" line with the new line.

Hope this helps.

shellexecute=begin.htm
works, Thanks
