Quick Question...

Is there any way to have a web site stored on a CD and then have it so that when the users inserts the CD into their drive the home page automatically loads up???

What I would like to do is provide my friends / family with CD's of images they want but instead of just having them in a folde ron the CD, I wanted to make them into a web page so they can view them like on online photo albumn.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need three files in the root of your CD:

index.htm
autorun.inf
shelexec.exe

index.htm is your root page, and shelexec.exe launches internet explorer. autorun.inf looks like this:

[autorun]
open=shelexec index.htm

If you change the path to index.htm, be sure to edit the above. Hope that helps!

Sorry wouldn't have a clue :)

As much as I would love to use a MAC for my digital imaging, I just don't have the $$$$$

Autorun is usually disabled on Macs (I used to disable mine)...

Why not just create an open folder and have the Index HTML page or your application be named something like "Double-Click Me"

Or if you use Toast, there is an AutoRun feature available when you burn a CD.

FInally, you can also look for little applications on download.com for autorun on a mac.
