    This is what I use when I make a cd for a someone, and I want the installer to run on it's own. Just a little trick to make life a little easieri ;)

    Double click Autorun.inf to open it in notepad, and change the files (you need to change both) in the brackets to the one you need. Save it and exit. Then put it on the drive (no folder, root directory) then put the file you want to run in the root directory also. That's what I do for a cd. You can hide the files too if you don't want to look at them.

    If your afraid of config files you can always try one of these programs that do all the work for you:

    I have used these types of programs before solely because of the templates they come with.
