HTML CD-ROM Autorun

I've ran into a few scenarios where having a CD open a web page as soon as it is inserted would be helpful.  I could never find a direct way to do this, but it was easy to run an executable via the Autorun.inf facility, so I wrote a little Visual Basic application that would open a web page.  Problem solved.

You can download the autorun_files.zip file that contains the three files you'll need to make a CD that will autorun a web page.  The "Autorun.inf" and "autorun.exe" files should just be burned to the root directory of the CD (or other capable media) that you want to use and should not be edited.  The "autorun.html" page should be edited to your liking and burned to the root directory as well.

By downloading and using the files provided in the autorun_files.zip archive, you agree to the following:
