Make an Autorun CD-ROM
To make a CD-ROM run a program automatically you use a file named
autorun.inf
You create the file autorun.inf in a text editor like Notepad. The file
autorun.inf is than located on the CD's root directory. The first line of
the file needs to say
[autorun]
add a second line with "open=" and the program desired. For example an
autorun.inf file like this
[autorun]
open=explorer.exe /n,/e,.
would make the CD open up Windows Explorer.
Rather than launch an executable you can have Windows launch an html file,
use the following for example
[autorun]
open=start.exe yourfilename.html
I don't mean to sound dumb, but how do I get to the root
directory? I looked in MS help and root directory was not
listed, it must be realy simple.

a root is the first level.
if you just put a file on a cd or drive that's on the root.
if you created a folder and then put a file in that folder then the file is
not on the root is in the folder, and the folder is on the root.
