AUTORUN HTML file ?

How can a distribution CD AUTORUN.INF file be made to
open an HTML page using the system browser rather than
running an exe on the distribution CD?

Thanks

See the ShellExecute command:

There are quite a few utilities available as well:

Hi,

In the autorun.inf file, write the following
[autorun]
OPEN=main.html
ICON=pcw.ico

where, point your HTML file (or whatever file) on the OPEN command and the icon you want to appear on the ICON command.

Regards,
