Lately, some of my students are asking how to create "autorun" feature in their Interactive CD.

First, let me describe the purpose of "autorun". By its name, it automatically runs any executable file inside a CD or DVD. This is similar to some installers that we buy in the market. Example, when we are installing "Microsoft Office 2007" using CD, it prompts an interface wherein we can click install or browse the CD.

To create an "autorun" function using notepad just follow the steps below:

1. Open Notepad.
2. Type the following codes:

3. Click File -> Save As. Name your file as autorun.inf
