Autorun not working

[ramprasad]

Hi

I have written a CD with a HTML page as index.
I made an autorun file and made the HTML page to be invoked.

Alas, the page is not diaplyed when the CD is inserted.
The Autorun feature is enabled on Windows.

Any help wud be appreciated

Are you sure Autorun is enabled??? Is there any prompt or just nothing happens when you insert the cd??

The problem seems to be your autorun file itself. check it any errors.

hey Ramakrishnan my autorun was also not working
here is what i ve typed in it

[AutoRun]
open=mywebs\index.htm
icon=icon.bmp

Is there any mistake???????????????

[gaurav21r]

No there is no mistake... have u named the file "autorun.inf"??? Try right clicking 'Install' once and see...

autorun open commands can invoke executables only afaik... To ask it to open html, you need to find a workaround...

First open notepad then type the following:

[AutoRun]
open=yourdesiredfolder\index.htm
icon=myicon.ico

and save as autorun.inf then burn them.
Note:Autorun.inf always place outside not in folder.

I did the same but when I insert the CD it didn't start.

@gaurav21r
I have named that file as autorun.inf

Did you try another cd or dvd ? is it autoplay works ?

@tech_mastermind
I tried the same autorun for an exe it worked but when i burnt three another CDs for html pages it wasn't working. No DVD I don't have a DVD writer.

[gaurav21r]

It should work for html files as well.... Right click your drive in My Computer and check the Autorun tab, just in case.


Try puuting ur index.htm outside all folders so the command can be

[autorun]
open=index.htm

instead of...

[autorun]
open=something\index.htm
