Re: Autorun.inf
autorun.inf runs a program, not a random file name
to run a video you need to launch a player to play the video.
the player you chose may not be present on the target system so it is best
to include a no-install player and have autorun call that to play the file
VLC portable is such a player

I have created a movie file (.WMV) on a CD and added an autorun.inf file as
with this line:
[AutoRun]
open=robins.wmv
When double clicking that drive letter I get error:
D:\ is not a valid Win32 application
Opening the drive, double click the .wmv file, it runs fine with WMP.
Why won't autorun.info work?
Earl
