This is outside the scope of the newsgroup, but here's an answer anyway.

(assuming you mean winblows 95)
There is a file named autorun.inf on the cd....

this is essentially an .ini file which tells windows what to run..

here is an example from one of my cd's

[autorun]
open=aamsstp\setstub.exe
icon=aamsstp\app\bshelf96.exe,0

I would suggest finding another source of information before burning a cd
with one of these, however, as a mistake is rather permenant.

Hope this help

Drudd
