Software Development Auto Run: HELP!

When I insert a Data CD that I have burned, how do I get it to automatically pop up an interface that I have programmed. For example, if I want to code up an interface to search its contents, how do I get taht to automatically pop up when the CD is inserted. Or for that matter, how do I get it to automatically pop up anything, like a Word Doc, Notepad, or anything?

Thanks....
 
Create a text file named "autorun.inf" in the CD's root containing the following information:

[autorun]
open=<programname>.exe

You can also enter a line "icon=<iconname>.ico" to display this icon in the explorer instead of the standard CD one. There are more commands, a quick Google search for "autorun.inf how to" had the Microsoft's autorun.inf specification linked on the fist result page.
 
OS looks for autorun.inf

This acts as a batch file to contain commands to be executed in sequence.
