Auto Run Any Type of File

If you have ever wanted to create a CD or DVD for someone who has trouble with computers, the best thing you can do is create a cd that will autorun the file you want them to see. AutorunPro.exe makes this free and simple!

Download AutorunPro.exe. Once you extract the files you make sure the icon, AutorunPro.exe file, the autorun.inf, and the file you wish to autorun are all going to be placed in the root director of the disk you wish to autorun.
First create a new autorun, .inf file. To do this you can create a new text document; copy and paste the following into the file:
[autorun]
open=AutorunPro.exe /s
icon=Icon Name.ico
[AutorunPro]
Run1=Web Page.html
The "/s" keeps the tiny splash screen from the .exe file from showing. Change Webpage.html to the name of the file, and if you want, change the icon by replacing Icon Name.ico with your own icon. You can also autorun multiple fules by adding more lines such as in the following:
[autorun]
open=AutorunPro.exe /s
icon=Icon Name.ico
[AutorunPro]
Run1=Web Page.html
Run2=Video.mpg
