CDRom autorun on PC

I have designed a website on a Mac that runs happily on IE5 directly from a CDROM on both the Mac and PC.My problem is that I would like to get the program to run when the CD is loaded into the PC, which is running Win98. I don't know how to create the file "autorun.inf" that contains "open= start ". Any suggestions?

Thanks I'll try there, but knowing you're a Mac wizard (having looked through previous enquiries) can I ask you a very Mac related problem.
My HP Deskjet works fine if I start up in OS10.2 or OS9.1 but if I try to print when in Classic mode, ie with OS10.2 running in the background PrintMonitor says there's not enough memory. I don't begrudge paying for the upgrade to Photoshop 7 but I'd rather not pay Bill Gates more money for another complete Microsoft Office!

Get the gimp-print and HPIJS foomatic packages and install them on 10.2 and throw HP's drivers far, far away. That should fix everything.
