This is how I create my autoplay menus for CD-Rs:

Please keep in mind that I make my autoplay menus in Flash and save them as projector executable [EXE] files.

Once the autoplay file [the Flash projector EXE file] is on the CD-R, I open Notepad and type in the following:

CODE
[AutoRun]
open=myfile.exe
icon=myfile.exe,0


Note 1: replace 'myfile.exe' in the example above with the actual name of your EXE file.

Note 2: I'm not sure if the autorun file must always be an EXE file, but till now i haven't gone wrong with them!

Then I save the Notepad document as autorun.inf [to save it with the INF extension, you will have to change the 'Save as' type to the 'All files' option].

Then I copy that autorun.inf to the CD-R.

That's about it, as far as I can tell. Although the process may be different if you're a Mac user.

Cheers!

You can do what machine said that works, if you want the program to run on startup of the computer (Not on CD) then you can just copy a shortcut in the startup folder, or write to registry for it to run (in vb)
