Batch CD-autorun?

Comment:

Hi, I'm trying to create a batch-file that automatically runs when a cd is inserted into the cd-drive... I have made a file that has to be run manually, but I don't know if it is even possible to find the drive, also because the drive letter keeps changing. Can you help? Thanks in advance

If the script is on the CD, then you'd say: set drive=%~d0

also going by the assumption razor is, if the batch is on the cd just use %CD% to get the current directory

I'm not completely sure if it would work properly but what about a autorun.inf to start the script? [AutoRun] OPEN=yourscript.cmd I know this is very obvious but I'm not sure if you had already got that far.
