And just to add another small tidbit. If your users will be running
this on Win98, you might want to place your standalone exe in some
folder on the CD rather than directly at the root level. It's been
my experience in the past with Win98 that if you place your
standalone directly on the root of the CD it takes forever to launch
(whether you're using autorun or not). Seems to work fine, however,
with Windows 2000 and above.
Anyway, just FYI.

Hi Richmond,
Dear xTalk Afficionados,
I am sure this one has been addressed before - but could
not find it via an "autostart" search of the archives.
If I make a stand-alone for MS Windows on a CD - how to I
set it to autostart when the user pops the CD into their
CD-drive?
Grateful for help!
Put a simple text file named "autostart.inf" (NO quotes, of course)
in the root directory of the cd
Content (no empty lines!):
[autorun]
open=path_to_standalone.exe
But please remember that win users might have disabled this ANTI-
feature!
