How can I create an autorun cd - to automatically load a pdf?

Question

I have a pdf portfolio that I intend to burn to cd. How can I have the pdf autorun when the cd is loaded?

Answer 1

I'm a little hazy on this as it's been a while since I tinkered with autorun cd's but if I recall correctly all you need to do is include an autorun.inf in the root directory of the cd that contains the scripting required to locate and open the pdf file. Microsoft has included some fairly explicit instructions on putting together an autorun.inf, check out this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_basics/shell_basics_extending/autorun/autoplay_cmds.asp


Good luck!

Answer 2

Create a file called autorun.inf
In this file you have to put the path to the pdf File
You can also use Nero to do the job for you
