Does anyone know how to make autorun disks? I wanted to put nvda onto a cd so it starts when I put the cd into a computer, because at the moment, I have to go the long way round and go into 2 folders. I've heard it can be done, just not been told how to do it yet.
yes it can be done
its a file called audiorun.inf
[AUTORUN]
OPEN=PATH/FILE.EXE
save as autorun.inf
wallah
remember to set your path correctly :P
Has to be a direct path not relative
Do we save this on the disk along with the thing we want to run?
Hi, you save it in the root directory of your disk. HTH!
So for example, we save the NVDA folder and the autorun file on the disk. Do you go and write the files to disk before going to the autoplay option?
You would write your autorun.inf file like this:
[Autorun]
open="d:\NVDA\NVDA.exe"
Then you would save it to the root folder of the CD (the top-level folder that contains all the other folders). You would then put your NVDA folder on the disk.
Do I have to include the quotation marks? So the autorun file is the only thing on the disk until I put the nvda folder on there.
Yes, you should put the quotation marks in the path name. Copy and paste it exactly as I wrote it.
Thank you! I've managed to make the disk! Yes! It's a bit slow to start up, but I don't know if that's the program, the college computer or the cd itself. I wonder ... What else can I make an autorun disk of? Hahahaha.
I need to autorun nvda from a thumb drive. since I dont know which drive letter my thumb drive would show up as on any given computer, how would I accomplish this? or can I? Am I forced to run it from a cd rom whose drive letter is typically d?
Copy the below I've simplified things this is how it looks no special marks or anything just copy this
[AUTORUN]
open=setup.exe
replace setup.exe with the file you want to execute. Save file from notepad with the name autorun.inf. put in top level dir with the file you want to run so the disk will see it.
Simple as that nothing more to it. This thread shouldn't have any more than 3 posts.
What makes u think u have the decision to manage forums posts? The thread can have how many posts it wants to have in it. SHe had a question, and people answered it, she had more questions, people answered them. Thanks for that, I may try this with my laptop, just to see if it works.
autorun disks are cool. i dont use them often, but when i do, they come in handy
