Let's assume I enable autorun - then what? DVD+RW but I think that is irrelevant. |

Let's assume I enable autorun - then what? DVD+RW but I think that is irrelevant. Let me expand on my qeustions... First - people do not just come here to fix individual problems. It is plausible you are looking for a solution to a problem you expect to face on many different machines (Windows XP, sure - maybe). In your case I was trying to clarify if you wanted to know: - How to create an autorun.inf and associated file on the actual DVD itself so that any machine with autorun enabled would take that autorun.inf and do what it said do (run the file on the DVD). or - When you insert a DVD - any DVD, you would like autorun to do something *specific* for you on your machine - like run a batch script you wrote and stored on the C drive of your machine. All I asked for was clairification of what you were asking. Yes - it is/was not obvious. I cannot read your mind, I cannot see you or your computer, I do not know your intentions/needs/wants. I am asking these questions because it is not clear. You left much to the imagination with your one sentence query. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

So much for succintness ;-) # Open Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows + "e" key. # Right-click the desired CD-ROM and select Properties from the menu. # Select the AutoPlay tab How do I connect the autoplay OK to start "copy.bat"? Do I need to modify the registry to add another choice or what? |

AUTORUN.INF is a unique filename, the only one that Windows executes immediately when found: so you write in your BATch file whatever you want, then name it AUTORUN.INF.
