    Make a file name autorun.inf
    And write their ....


    [autorun]
    open=project.exe
    icon=hate.ico
    Code (markup):

    Project.exe is the file you want to Run automatic .. and hate.ico is the ICON of the file .. if you dont have the icon you can remove icon=hate.ico

    A couple of things to keep in mind -

    1) not all users have autorun enabled
    2) the autorun program should be small so as to launch very quickly. Simple html dialogs or flash-ish dialogs with menus of what to do are probably the most common. Don't use MFC or anything that will require libraries on the client machine.
    3) Don't forget to put an icon in there. It gives a nice touch.
    4) Your directory structure should be obvious enough that a user browsing it will be able to figure things out.
    5) You can practice with a thumb drive and save yourself a few bucks in tossed CDs.

    Not quite sure I understand the question.

    If a user has autorun disabled, your autorun will not run, plain and simple.

    For this reason, many people like to leave just the menu program in the root directory of the cd with a nice pretty icon attached to it, and name it something like "install" or "navigation menu" so that novice users will click on it.
