Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how this would be achieved? -
I remember this was involving an auto run script, but these days I prefer to think that people know how to click on a suggestive icon in a CD.
Firing without warning a browser window looks like an "undesirable pop up" in my opinion. -
I used RJ Software's solution a few years back -- it was pretty slick and cheap from what I remember (I am sure there is something free out there).

Just FYI -- this isn't something you do with HTML code. -

It's as easy as creating an autorun.inf file and telling it which file to auto run.
Just drop this code in a notepad like program:
[autorun]
OPEN=myprogram.EXE
ICON=myicon.ICO
The OPEN is what file you want it to open and the ICON is the icon file you want the CD to have when it comes up. Pretty easy stuff.
Then you burn the CD with the:
Autorun.inf
File you want opened
Icon
When you burn the CD it will auto run unless the use has disabled it. -

Thanks Seth.
And thanks Martin for the link, I will try not to be too insulted by your FYI even though it assumes I'm an idiot.
