Hi Fernando

Your DVD or CD needs an "autorun.inf" file (which is a fairly simple text file). This file contains instructions for running files once the CD is inserted. In your case you will want to configure it to run a menu.

Lots of good resources on the web about this, here is one of them:

Autorun.inf file, What is it?

Hope this helps!

Thanks Bill

My problem is how to create the menu - which software. Was hopping some Warrior could guide me straight to a good source.

If I don't find any solid tip I'll just drop the autorun into a folder.

Thanks!!

Hi Fernando

There are a number of ways you could create the menu function that you call from autorun.inf. Three that come to mind:

1 - Create the menu as an HTML file using your favorite editor. The menu would then open in the users default web browser.

2 - Use a Windows .cmd file and make a menu using batch commands. Not as pretty a solution as #1!

3 - Use Visual Basic or some other RAD language to create a custom menu application. This is the most sophisticated solution but also the most versatile.

I'm sure there are a myriad of other solutions, it really depends how much time you want to put into it.

Let me know if you need any assistance with this.

I don't know if they still have it - I once developed a training CD for a software company I worked for over 6 years ago and had to use Adobe's Authorware. It looks like there's no support for it any longer.

Otherwise most companies use Flash...so, if you know a bit of flash programming, you could knock up a small sample to see how it goes.

Thanks Warriors,

Will test HTML and Flash Options.

I saw some scripts to do this too but guess the "do it yourself" is the way to go.

Thanks!

Fernando
