How to open the CD-ROM Shortcut on the desktop

[Rich Scales]

Is there a way you can open the CD-ROM shortcut on the user's desktop? Because when I resolve the link, it points to D:\, but is there a way to get it to autoplay for instance? I've been using ShellExecute and it returns "SE_ERR_ACCESSDENIED" when I don't resolve the link. Does anybody know how to open these type of files? What about the CreateProcess function? Thanks for the help.
