AutoRunCD Version 2.0
Shareware
Copyright ⌐ 1999 Media Keepsakes
Notes on using the shareware version
-----------------------------------------
You should place the application or document file
that will be launched in a "Staging" folder before using
the AutoRunCD Wizard. We suggest that you keep a
separate drive for "staging" purposes, and place all the
files you wish to copy to your CD-R or CD-RW drive in
the "Root" directory.
The "Process" button does not become active until
a launch file has been selected. When you use the
"Process" button, the AutoRunCD files will be copied
into the same folder as the application or document
you select to launch.
If you do not want AutoRunCD to display before
launching an application or document, leave the
"Splash Image" field set to "(None)". You may also
choose not to play a sound, or display a caption by
leaving these fields set to "(None)" as well. Use
the "Clear" buttons to reset each field. DO NOT LEAVE
ANY FIELD BLANK.
The image file must be in Windows BMP format. A
sample image is included with AutoRunCD. It is
generally a good idea to use a 256 color BMP image,
but it is not absolutely necessary. Also, the image
should not be larger than 450 x 250 pixels. The Wizard
does not check the size of the image. A preview of
the splash image will appear in the box next to the
image file field.
The sound file must be in Windows WAV format, and
should generally be under 1MB for optimal performance.
You can preview the sound using the arrow button to
the right of the sound file field. Note that you can
also preview a sound when the "Open Sound File" dialog
box is displayed. Right-Click on a WAV file and choose
"Play".
You may change the background color of the AutoRunCD
window by using the "Select" button. The default color
is white. Note that you will only see the background color
in the AutoRunCD window if "Full Screen" is checked.
If "Full Screen" is checked, the AutoRunCD window will
automatically resize to fill the screen, regardless of display
settings. The splash image will be centered in the window.
You can check "Minimize" to minimize all open applications.
Most of these will go to the Windows Taskbar. AutoRunCD
will never close any open applications, however you may
notice that certain applications will minimize to the Desktop.
These can usually be restored by double clicking on them.
Keep an eye on the status bar at the bottom of the
AutoRunCD Wizard for information regarding your project,
especially after using the "Process" button.
You can test the autorun by executing "autorun.exe"
in your staging folder, after using the AutoRunCD
Wizard.
There are many more features in the professional
version of AutoRunCD.
