Hi,
 
I have this CD-Rom that basically contains a programs that I use for work. It runs automatically as soon as I put it in the CD-Rom Drive. I have copied the CD's contents to a folder on my C Drive but how do I make it autorun. I have tried all the files in there but no luck.
 
Anu ideas,

Look for the autorun.inf file, open it, and look for the executable that it launches.
 
This is from the IE5 CD:
 
[autorun]
OPEN=i386\setup.exe
icon=i386\Menu\AutoRun.ico
[autorun.alpha]
OPEN=Bin\Alpha\ShelExec Alpha\setup.htm
[autorun.x86]
OPEN=i386\setup.exe
 
 
The file that it launches for an x86-based machine is:
 
 
i386\setup.exe
 
That would be the file that you need.
