It’s also worth putting instructions on the CD packaging or the print on the disc, informing users that an autorun is present, and also provide instructions on how to operate the disc, in case the autorun does not launch. However, they are likely to be experienced users, who would be comfortable with navigating the disc contents themselves, and are likely to find the correct content of the disc. If you need the auto run to launch a file which is stored deeper within another folder, then we can reference this file, by using the folder name before the filename, therefore, nameoffolder/filename.extension.Ī point to remember is those users who are extra security conscious may have disabled the ability for CDs to launch without any user input, and therefore the autorun.inf file will not work in this case.

The autorun file will reside on the root of the disc. If your filenames have spaces in the naming convention, then for the purposes of the autorun, (which cannot recognise files names with spaces), either remove the spaces or replace the spaces with underscores in the original files. Do not type the apostrophes, only the content within them.
