I want to put a complete website on a CD and have it launch automatically when the CD is put into a PC.

If the default page is index.html can someone tell me what to put in an autorun file?

Just went looking on microsoft.com (via Google).
This seems easier:
- With NotePad make a file called autorun.inf
- In autorun.inf put something like this:

[autorun]
open=myfolder\index.html

Just a word of warning. If autorun is disabled on a PC the disc will not start automatically. Therefore you should included a 'read me' file so that users with this disabled can access the content on the disc.

I tried this and my website doesn't launch from the CD. Whats wrong with it?

- With NotePad I created a file called autorun.inf
- In autorun.inf I put something like this:
[autorun]
open=myfolder\index.html

autorun.inf is on the root of my CD.

Right, that method can't start an html file - check the link I posted previously.
