A file called autorun.inf needs to be in the top level folder of the CD, in order for the program to run automatically. The layout of this file should be as shown below. Click here to download and example of it.

The first two lines are required so that the computer knows to start the CDViewer program when you insert the CD into a computer.

The four lines in the [configure] section are the optional slideshow configurations, and in the example above, show the default values that will be used if they do not exist . These lines are only required if you want to change the default settings. If you are happy with the defaults, they can be omitted.

If you change any settings, please be aware that the program is case sensitive. The configuration names of delay, showfolders, showtext and maximize must all be in lowercase, and there must be no spaces either side of the = sign.

The values of the setting showfolders must be either true or false (in lowercase). Values of True or False will not work and a default value of true will be used.

The values of the setting showtext must be true, false, name or desc. Any other value will result in a default of true being used. See the autorun configuration page for details of these settings.

The values of the setting maximize must be either true or false (again in lowercase). Values of True or False will not work and a default value of true will be used.

If anything is spelt wrong the line will be ignored and the CDViewer will revert to the default value.
