How to make a CD autostart?

The following directory structure is recommended (but not needed):

\autorun.inf (needed)
\autorun\autorun.exe (the main program)
\autorun\info_en.html (the english help file)
\autorun\mdvdgo.ini (the configuration file for MDVD Go!)
\autorun\skins\... (the needed skin files, e.g. the directory "default")
\codec\divx.exe (the codec installation file)
\microdvd\microdvd.exe (the player installation file)
\microdvd\mdvdp.exe (the player's main program)
\specials\... (there you can put the cover, soundtrack and so on. This is the directory you browse when clicking on "Explore CD")

Perhaps some more directories will be needed for the movie and the menu.


The file "autorun.inf" is being needed for making a CD autostart. This file has to be in the root dir of your CD.

[AutoRun]
OPEN=autorun\autorun.exe
ICON=autorun\autorun.exe
