AutoRun.Inf (cd) How do u do it?

[Astalavista]

A little background for a few days now i have been migrating from RunonceEx.cmd to WPI (current version is 2.99a)

Now I wanted to test my WPI for compatibility so i made a cd of my wpi.hta and associate folder and software folder only.

I wanted to add a autorun.inf just like when u insert XP CD into your CD or DVD drive.

Here is what i found out.

You need to make a Autorun.inf

inside u add this lines of code

[autorun]shellexecute=wpi.hta    <<<<---- launch your wpi.hta

icon=Diablo.ico          <<<<---- your icon

And it will auto load your WPI. I just realize that this is not the proper forum for this.

Originally my question was how does the autorun.inf work. But ...

For those of you that just want to change the icon for your U.A. XP CD or DVD

open your autorun.inf

just change this line

icon=setup.exe, 0

to icon= your icon.ico

example

autorun.inf

[autorun]

setup=setup.exe

icon=matrix.ico <<--- what i used above

make sure the ico is located on the root of your %cdrom%

The main autorun function is governed by this:

[autorun]
open=setup.exe

All of the others are additional options that become available on a right-click of the drive.
