Disc as in floppy or CD?

For CD, you just have to make a autorun.inf file on the CD

For floppy, you have to enable autorun by updating the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Policies
Explorer
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"

The default value for the setting is 95 in HEX, Change it to 91, then
restart computer.

Then you just have to make an autorun.inf file on the floppy drive that will
open word and the file on your disk.
