Is it possible to lock your files that you have placed on your CD for the CD to function? What I mean is can you stop a person from just opening the files on your CD and copying them their harddrive?

You could put them in password-protected Zip archives. Your AutoPlay application would use the password to extract the files at run time...anyone without the password would not be able to extract the files.

I don't know if this is practical or if it will work. Just a thought.

When the application runs the first thing it does it checks to see what the %SrcDrv% is and to check and see if that drive is a CD-ROM drive. It would run only if this is the case.

Just use a Zip File - Extract (http://www.autoplaystudio.com/webhelp/Command_Reference/Actions/Zip_File/ZipFile.Extract.htm) action.
