Hi!

I need a TXT file to automatically open as I insert the CD which contains it, I know this is possible via the "Autorun.inf" file... but how? I tried stuff like:

OPEN=MANUAL.TXT

AND

OPEN=NOTEPAD.EXE MANUAL.TXT

But still got no results...

Thanks Beforehand

Hi, your format is wrong. It is as below.

[autorun]
OPEN=notepad.exe manual.txt


For the above, the maunual.txt must be in the root directory Suppose the file is in the direcotry called ABC then

[autorun]
OPEN=notepad.exe /abc/manual.txt

Bye
