    Autorun on Windows
    The autorun feature on Windows is implemented by putting an INF file in the parent directory of the CD. Create a text file (using a program such as Simple Text or Notepad) called "Autorun.inf". Include the following text, replacing whatever with the name of the application you wish to launch:

    [Autorun]
    open=whatever.exe
    icon=whatever.ico

    The third line (icon=whatever.ico) allows you to change the icon associated with the CD drive. For additional information on creating an autorun CD, refer to Microsoft's article on creating an AutoRun-enabled application.
