Autoplay CD on Bootup?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi:

How can you burn an .exe file on a CD and make the file autoplay CD? I
have changed the BIOS to load "D" (CD-ROM) on startup and want it to auto
load and run the .exe file.

My Compaq Presario 2500 is hanging up on windows Startup blue screen and I
want to run this .exe file.

I need to be able to boot to the CD and have it autoplay or autorun the
..exe file.

Thanks

Hi,

It's not quite that simple, see: www.cdrfaq.org for this and other answers.

Hi Rick:

I found a shareware program, AutoRun Wizard version 2.01, that is quite
simple to use and setup a file to auto run etc. I set up a file and tested
it and it ran like a champ. It even has a Test Feature for the selected
file.

Website for the program is

Thanks for your timely reply.
