autorun open=start index.htm doesn't work!

I'm creating a html presentation for distribution on CD. One of the articles
says to use the above subject line to get the presentation to start. Nothing
happens when I plug in the CD. I have Autoplay turned on and it works for
other CD's and I am an administrator on my system. Any help?

You need to make a file named autorun.inf using notepad.
Open notepad, and then enter:

[Autorun]
shellexecute=index.htm

and then save the file as autorun.inf. and place it on the CD.

If the index.htm file is contained inside a folder, the notepad text would look like:

[Autorun]
shellexecute=webfoldername\index.htm
