Enabling Autorun

If you are creating a Mac and PC data disc, you can select a Windows executable file to launch automatically when the disc is inserted into a Windows PC. (In some cases, the user will have to give their permission before the executable will launch.)

This setting will not affect your disc when used in a Mac.

To select an executable file to autorun

1 Prepare your disc as you normally would. See Making a Mac & PC Disc.

2 In the Output Settings area, click More... for additional option settings.

3 From the Autorun drop-down menu, select the file you would like to launch when the disc is inserted in to a Windows PC.

Note: You can only use files that are executable on a PC (files with extensions such as .EXE, .COM, or .BAT).

4 Click OK.

5 Record your disc.

The completed disc will have a hidden file called autorun.inf that is only visible on a PC. This file contains the instructions that will launch the selected executable on a Windows PC.
