Copied a cd > C Drive. Now how do I make it autorun.
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.

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.
