I want to create an autorun.inf that pops up a box with 2 buttons and asks if I want to run a file when I insert a CD. I made a hardware CD and when I insert it I have to browse to the directory and run the hardware 0.86 executable. I don’t want it to run the executable automatically I want it to ask me if I want to run the file. If I click yes it runs, If I click no it closes the window. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Well the way most companies do it is by writing a tiny problem, but that's probably beyond your scope. Instead you could create a web page (.html) and use Javascript to fire off a yes/no via the Confirm function, then make a decision.

Although it will fire off a web browser window first that won't close by itself. Also IE6 XP SP2 and IE7 will display warnings because you're trying to run an EXE from a web browser, and FireFox will refuse to execute it if that's your default browser. So it's not the most elegant solution, but it is easy. I'll come back later and post some HTML/Javascript

You could use a hta to do the same thing to avoid any security warning.

Example Yes No Hta

<HTML><HEAD>
 <TITLE>Confirm This</TITLE>
 <HTA:APPLICATION ID='Search_Audio'
  SingleInstance='Yes'   SysMenu='Yes'
  MaximizeButton='No'	MinimizeButton='Yes'
  SCROLLFLAT ='No'	   Border='Thin'
  BORDERSTYLE ='complex' INNERBORDER ='Yes'
  Caption='Yes'		  WindowState='Normal'
  APPLICATIONNAME='SearchAudio'
  Icon='%Windir%\explorer.exe'>
 <STYLE type="text/css">
  Body
   {
	Font-Size:9.05pt;Font-Weight:Bold;

I tried this script and it did not work. I tried it as an HTML, asp, aspx. I'm just looking for a simple dialouge box asking if I want to run "hardware.exe"? YES or NO.

The script failed because of this appead in the post do not know why it happen

<script LANGUAGE='JScript'>

This is how it should be

"Remove The Quotes Here only To Post<"script LANGUAGE='JScript'>

To run the app you need to fill in this area to have the app run

  function Button01Click()
  {
  // PLACE YOUR CODE IN HERE THAT YOU WANT TO RUN
  alert('You pressed the yes button');
;}

you could try Autoit..

the source for what you want to do is 


Opt("TrayIconHide", 0)   ;0=show, 1=hide tray icon

$answer=msgbox(4,"Question"," Do you want to install hardware ?")

if $answer = 6 Then ; value of 6 means yes pressed
	run("hardware.exe",@TempDir,@SW_SHOW)
EndIf

Exit

and autoit can compile this to an .exe for you.

autoit avaiable at http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/
