Autorun CD/DVD

An Autorun CD/DVD is one that includes a program or file that automatically plays once it is inserted into the drive. You can create an Autorun CD/DVD with B's Recorder GOLD5.

Note
You cannot create an Autorun CD/DVD for use on Macintosh computers.


 
1.
Select [Edit] -> [New] -> [Autorun File] from the menu bar.


2.
Select the location of the autorun file, then click [OK].
 


3.
Complete the settings on the Virtual CD Properties window.


Execute file when launched

Input the name of the file to be launched. Input the path if it is in the directory. If the file is located within a folder, input the path, as well, e.g. to specify the [readme.htm] file that is in the [autorun] folder, input [autorun\readme.htm]. You can specify HTML, DOC and audio files as autorun files when creating an Autorun disc. Make sure you enable [Document] when specifying files, such as HTML.

Note
The PC on which the disc is used will need to be set to automatically launch applications that read HTML and DOC extension files.

CD-ROM Icon File
Select the icon for the disc to be recorded that will appear when inserted into a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. If the file is located within a folder, input the path, as well. A default CD-ROM icon appears if you do not select one.

To be added to CD-ROM menu
You can set items to appear on the menu that appears when the disc user right clicks on the drive in which the disc was inserted.
  1. Input the name of the item you want to appear on the menu.
  2. Input the name of the program or file you want launched when that item is selected into [Command]. For example, when you want 'readme.txt' to appear on the notepad, input [notepad.exe readme.txt].


  1. By enabling [Create to execute when launched], that command is executed in the beginning when the disc is launched.

 
Tip
This option is given priority over the Autorun file, so any file specified here is executed first.





  1. Click [Add]. Repeat the above procedure to add multiple items to the menu.
  2. Click the [Preview] button to preview the menu, icons, etc. If you have completed the settings correctly, the menu should appear when you right click on the drive icon. Click [OK] once you have completed the settings.






  1. Click [OK] once you have completed the settings. The "Autorun.inf" file is added to the Data Edit field. If you enabled [Document], the file needed to run the document, BSEXEC.EXE, is also added.



4.
Add the files you specified for autorun into the Data Edit field. Now you can record your Data CD/DVD.
