Hi guys can anyone tell me how I can put a program that I downloaded and put it on a dish so when I put in the disk it would just start automaticly. the program is a WinRAR Zip file.
If its a rar. file you have to un zip it and save it in a folder then just use nero burning rom to make a bootable disc. Search the guides section and you should a more comprehensive explanation.
so if i do it like that i can take that disk to another computer and the program would start automaticlly.
Only .exe files can be autorun (I think). What you would need to is unzip the files into a folder (there must be an executable program there to autorun). Then make a file in notepad: Create an autorun.inf by clicking Start, Run, type notepad and press enter. In notepad type: [autorun] open=setup.exe icon= icon.ico In the above paragraph where open is located if your CD has an executable which you would like to run automatically you would need to type it into this line. Next is the icon statement, if you would like your own icon for the CD place the name of the icon file into this path. Once the above three lines have been typed save the file as autorun.inf and exit. Using the executable from your unzipped files should then invoke it and run it upon insertion.............................
"In the above paragraph where open is located if your CD has an executable which you would like to run automatically you would need to type it into this line." What do you mean by this would i type my cd drive letter.???
When you have unzipped your files, there has to be a file that has an executable extension - ie start.exe or similar but must have .exe as the extension. Then on this line - open=start.exe would be typed. This line points to open up the start.exe - thus invoking it and running the exe file.
there is a file that just says setup when i click it the program begins to load. so would I write it like this in notepad. and add the notepad file to that file? [autorun] open=setup.exe icon= icon.ico
correct........... Open notepad, type in that and then save it as autorun.inf Then just burn that file AND all of the others you unzipped onto a cd. Do not place those files in a folder and burn the folder, just burn the files to disc..........................
