Autorun.inf file? not compatible with Windows 2000?

autorun.inf files

[govinda]

I recently tried making an autorun.inf file for a cd rom that is supposed to start when you put it into the drive.

On Win ME it started up fine.
On Win 98, it displayed a quick Dos prompt before opening
On Win 2000 it didn't open at all.

All these computers were set to auto run a cd so that can't be the reason the win 2000 machine didn't run it.

Here is the code of the autorun.inf file:

[autorun]
open=start index.html

Is there something else I should know about to get this to work?

Thanks in advance if you can help me :)

I'm running Win 2K at work and it works for me.

The problem is that you are trying to open an HTML file with autorun.inf. In win2k/xp you can only open an executable file (.exe) with autorun.inf

Here is a tutorial that I put together a while ago:
