Q
Question:
Can I put my own presentations (*.EXE or *.SCR files) created
with "Digital Photos
Screensaver Maker"
into CD-ROM ?
A Answer:
Yes, of course!
Create a new file with name "autorun.inf" using any plain text
editor (e.g. Notepad)
and write the following strings:
[autorun]
open=YourSlideshow.exe
icon=YourSlideshow.exe
(Note: instead of "icon=YourSlideshow.exe" you
can write "icon=YourIcon.ico") where "YourSlideshow.exe" is
the name of your slideshow. The file "autorun.inf" must be copied
to the CD-ROM disk with your slideshow.
Creating
an AutoRun-Enabled Application
Creating an AutoRun-enabled CD-ROM application is a straightforward
procedure. You simply include two essential files:
- An Autorun.inf file
- A startup application
When
a user inserts a disc into a CD-ROM drive on a AutoRun-compatible
computer, the system immediately checks to see if the
disc has a personal computer file system. If it does,
the system searches for a file named Autorun.inf. This
file specifies setup application that will be run, along
with a variety of optional settings. The startup application
typically installs, uninstalls, configures, and perhaps
runs the application.
Creating
an Autorun.inf File
Autorun.inf is a text file located in the root directory
of the CD-ROM that contains your application. Its primary
function is to provide the system with the name and location
of the application's startup program that will be run
when the disc is inserted. The Autorun.inf file can also
contain optional information including:
- The
name of a file that contains an icon that will represent
your application's CD-ROM drive. This icon will be displayed
by Microsoft® Windows® Explorer in place of
the standard drive icon.
- Additional
commands for the context menu that is displayed when
the user right-clicks the CD-ROM icon. You can also
specify the default command that is run when the user
double-clicks the icon.
Autorun.inf
files are similar to .ini files. They consist of one or
more sections, each headed by a name enclosed in square
brackets. Each section contains a series of commands that
will be run by the shell when the disc is inserted. The
[autorun] section contains the default AutoRun commands.
All Autorun.inf files must have an [autorun] section.
Each
section contains a series of commands that determine how
the Autorun operation takes place. There are five commands
available
| Command |
Description |
| defaulticon |
Specifies the default icon for the application. |
| icon |
Specifies
the path and file name of an application-specific
icon for the CD-ROM drive.
icon=iconfilename[,index]
iconfilename Name of an .ico, .bmp,
.exe, or .dll file containing the icon information.
If a file contains more than one icon, you must also
specify zero-based index of the icon. |
| open |
Specifies
the path and file name of the startup application.
open=[exepath\]exefile [param1
[param2] ...]
exefile Fully qualified path of an
executable file that will be run when the compact
disc is inserted. If only a file name is specified,
it must be in drive's root directory. To locate the
file in a subdirectory, you must specify a path. You
can also include one or more command-line parameters
to be passed to the startup application. |
| label |
The
label command specifies a text label to represent
the AutoRun-enabled drive in the Windows user interface.
label=LabelText |
| shell |
Defines
the default command in the CD-ROM's context menu. |
| shell\verb |
Adds
commands to the CD-ROM's context menu. |
The
following is an example of a simple Autorun.inf file.
It specifies Filename.exe as the startup application.
The second icon in Filename.exe will represent the CD-ROM
drive instead of the standard drive icon.
[autorun]
open=Filename.exe
icon=Filename.exe,1
