    Grin Just a quick opening

    Hi all !

    I would like to just have something that when I put in a CD it will auto play to the PDF file and open it. I have a book I made. I would like to put it on CD. When I put the CD in my machine or in any machine I would like for it to open up the PDF file, thats it, no opening screens and so on. I tried to find a place I can do that but I'm not haveing any luck.

    Can someone please help me find my way!

    Hello,

    You just have to do an "autorun.inf" like the following:

    Code:
    [autorun]
    icon=MYICON.ico
    open=shelexec .\BOOK.pdf
    shell\verb\command=shelexec .\BOOK.pdf
    shell\verb="BOOK TITLE"
    So copy this in Notepad, then save it as "autorun.inf" on the root of your CD.
    Then, adapt it:
    -Replace MYICON.ico by the path (relative to autorun.inf) to the icon that will be shown for the CD (replaces temporarily the CD drive icon).
    -BOOK.pdf should be replaced by the relative path to your PDF file
    -BOOK TITLE should be replaced by the name of your book; it will appear when the user right-click on the drive.

    All that was found in Google in about half a second. Google is your friend
