Autorun to start with an html page

AndesHelp
I have a very basic CD with a website loaded on it. The autorun.inf file is:

[autorun]
;ShellExecute=home.html
icon=logo.ico

However, when the CD is inserted it starts up with a Windows Explorer display instead of the HTML page. What am I missing?

Thanks

After some more searching and reading I found the "AutoRun.inf" file will not run anything but an executable file.

I did find a great little utility called "shellexe.exe" from Whirly Wiry Web. It works great and is a free utility. Now my CD starts right up with no problems.

Hello Friend!
PLZ save your home page with .HTA extension (ex-Home.hta).

and use this code in your autorun.inf file:-------------------

[autorun]
open=Home.hta
icon= logo.ico


if you get any other solution then Write here.
Thanks
