Let me be more specific. I want to make a CD that will automatically open up a webpage stored on the CD. My experience with making Autorun CDs is that it will only do *.exe files. Would I do iexplore.exe -o home.htm or something?

Thanks in advance!

You need to have a file named 'autorun.inf' in the root of your cd.
The contents of which should be:-


[autorun]
OPEN=yourexe.exe
ICON=youricon.ico

You only need the ICON line if you want to show a different icon to
the standard when viewed in explorer.

I have that part already,:) but what I'm trying to do is open Internet Explorer with a file.

"iexplore.exe mypage.htm" seems to work from Start ===> Run

Yup, that should work. After all, that's what all the software developers do with Readme files - they run "notepad readme.txt". To be fully certain, you can try test-burning on a CD-RW first.
