Auto Start CD ROM

Hello,

I distribute a Runtime database on CD-ROM (under Windows).

No installation on the user hard disk is needed.

I just would like the runtime application to start automatically when the CD is introduced in the computer. How to do it ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jean-Yves

Note: Any other elegant solution to help the users to start easily the runtime application would be welcome. I tried to hide the .dll files but it seems not possible once the files are on the CD.

Create a file called Autorun.inf and enter the following 2 lines:

[AutoRun]

OPEN=yourprogram.exe

The file can be created in Notepad or any text editor. Then copy the file onto your distribution disks.
