does anyone know how to use an autorun program... i need some coaching on it... thanks

Is this for a DMX controller? You might want to post it in the Lighting section for better results. As I have no knowledge of DMX/lighting, that's the only suggestion I have.

no its a prgram that is on a cd to make it run when you put it in


i am trying to make a autorun for a promotional cd

AUTORUN.INF allows only programs, files that end in .exe or .com, to be run. AutoPlay was never intended to be used to automatically run other files, such as .htm, but StarterFile enables this limitation to be overcome.

AutoPlay was also only intended to work with CD-ROM but it can be made to work with other media such as floppy disks and Iomega zip drives and this is explained later.

Autorun - Example
A typical AUTORUN.INF file to install software would be located in the root directory of the CD and contain three lines in text format (ASCII) like this:
[autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe


Setup.exe would be expected to be found in the root directory of the CD.
