Any of you got a recommendation on the best way to create an autoplay CD? A link to an instructional site would be just fine.
Thanks! Vic G

Vic,
The CD Burner software that I use...B's Recorder Gold...creates them for you. It burns the player files needed for AutoPlay on the CD along with the stuff you want on your CD. I believe it is a SONY product.

Hello Kimberly, it's good to hear from you. This computer has the Adaptec CD burner and it makes no reference to autoplay anywhere. Si gave me a freeware image viewer. I was going to see if I could create a disk of jpeg images that would start by itself and run as a slide show. Google search brings up a whole bunch of things, but they appear to be for CD factories.

Victor,
You might want to try at the Microsoft Developer Network. Check in the MSDN library. Lots of info on Autoplay. Don't know how it works, but that's where it's from. Address below.
Good luck. Sorry, that's all I know. You might want to talk to a programmer, if you know any.

Microsoft Powerpoint has a feature that when you create a slideshow or presentation, you can embed a player in with the file. When you run the file it automatically plays the file, even if you don't have a version of Powerpoint installed on the end computer. If you burn that file onto a CD, it in effect, becomes "Autoplay".
This may not be exactly what you are asking, but it is possible in that program.
