    Question Autorun.inf for MAC?

    Hi all,

    I would like to create a platform independent CD (actually only MAC OS and Windows) that will automatically start a html file when it is inserted in the CD drive...assuming the flag in the registry for CDAUTORUN is enabled.

    I realised that MAC doesn't recognize the autorun.inf file...instead it needs AutoRun.

    How do I create a platform independ "autorun"?

    Even the one i wrote for windows doesn't seem to work...

    Code:
    [autorun]
    open=start start.html
    can anyone tell me why?
    Any help will be appreciated

    thanks

    Re: Autorun.inf for MAC?

    ok ok...
    I'm searching for an autorun for the MAC too.
    But i know how to make an autorun for the PC more easily:
    Code:
    [autorun]
    open=start.html explorer.exe
    for example.

    the first word means the file to open
    the second word means the program to run for the file
    do not put explorer.exe if you think that the user would prefere use another browser.

    for more instruction i found it for you:
    http://www.phdcc.com/shellrun/autorun.htm

    And i don't know if this code works on MAC:
    while informating myself i found:
    Mac OS X and autorun
    Mac OS X does not support any type of autorun facility.


    Mac System 9 and autorun
    Macs with System 9, or below, do have an autoplay facility which requires QuickTime 2.0 or above. However, most Macs will have the autoplay facility disabled
    A macintosh automatically browse the CD instead of running any autorun.
    Now we both know more about it.

    C ya
