I'm trying to get a simple text file to open up upon insertion of a CD or DVD. I remember doing autoexec.bat files back in the old DOS days, but I tried that and nothing happens when the disk is inserted. A folder just pops up showing the contents of the CD. Then when I click on the autoexec file, a dos window flashes up with my text for split second and then disappears.

any EASY way to make this work?
 
Try googling 'autorun CD' and you'll find quite a bit of information on how to do this
 
I tried creating an autorun.inf file and it doesn't do anything, just sets there. Turned autoplay on, etc. Seems simple, just doesn't work! I'm just trying to open a simple readme file whenever the disk is inserted. Here's the contents of the INF I created. Problems? Sorry for the noob questions! I like hardware better than software!

[AutoRun]
open=Readme.txt
 
Thanks, the no. 2 worked. Can't use the INF file for a non-executable. Had to use the special Autorun.EXE file to open my readme on insertion.
