Here’s how to create an autorun CD or DVD easily

Autorun is a feature which allows a program to start running as soon as a CD or DVD is inserted in the CD or DVD ROM drive. Creating an Autorun-enabled CD-ROM is as simple as creating just a single file and placing it in the root directory of the CD or DVD disk.

One way to create an Autorun-enabled CD/DVD disk is to do it manually. You have to create a file named autorun.inf and place it in the root directory of the CD/DVD disk before burning the disk. Its content should be as follows:

[autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=snazzie.ico

where “setup.exe” is the executable which you want to run as soon the CD/DVD is inserted and the icon to display on the VD/DVD ROM drive. This will run the application specified in open. This will not create any menu but it works. But there are many programs out there which will make the task easy and will provide various options to enhance it, such as creating professional looking menus.

Easy Autorun Creaator is a simple but powerful tool which lets you create professional quality CD/DVD menus for your disk automatically. You can add splash screen, disk icon, even a background sound. It is the only program that creates professional-quality CD/DVD menus for your disks automatically. You can choose from various templates to use for your Autorun menu.

However, it is a shareware. If you’re looking for a freeware solution, you can try AMenu. You can use AMenu for CDs to launch programs, setup files, web sites, text files, MP3 files, Winamp m3u playlists, and more. It has 8 customizable buttons.
