Subject: Auto Start a CD on a Mac? |
Comment: I make CD-ROM'S in HTML. How do I get a CD to auto start on a Mac OS? What files do I need? Can someone send them to me and tell me where to put them on the CD so it will auto start on a Mac please? Hopefully on any Mac OS. Any help would be most appreciated. Ken.

Reply: (edit)Use Toast 3.5 or later. (v.4 suggested = more options) When writing a mac volume you have the otion of choosing a file to AutoStart. v

Reply: (edit)I agree with both of the above. Use Toast to make the partition autostart, and select the file to autostart when the CD is put in the drive. This works well for us with Mac / PC demo CD hybrids, although making the PC version autostart calls for the creation of an autorun.inf file.

Reply: (edit)I'm interested on the same topic. I need an .html file to be autorun upon loading of the CD. What would be the autorun.inf command equivalent? I though it was "shellexecute=filename.html" but it does not appear to work. Any thoughts?

Reply: (edit)suppose you are developing on a PC and want to give Mac Users the same courtesy to have the CD Autostart, does anyone know what file or code can make this possible? Basically, what is it that Toast writes to the disk? Any Mac users, please respond. Thanks.

Reply: (edit)toast is not availible for the PC,.. that is why PC users have such a problem, Adaptec (who makes toast), also makes a PC burning suite, but that software, well,.. it sucks.. and doesn't have any support for mac anything. I too also need to have an autorun for the Mac.. !help

Reply: (edit)I have got Toast 5.0.1. First step: You have to burn a cd with your files and program(mac os or hybrid).And then you have to burn your cd a second time. But this time you click on the right button, you have to wait for an openig pop up menue. Choose Mac Volume and activate AutoStart.
