>>On my distribution CD, I include the small file named 'aurorun.inf' which has the following code:
>>[autorun]
>>OPEN=setup.exe
>>This works fine every time the CD is inserted AND the auto start option is enabled on the users computer.
>>However, I have an application which will keep a large data table on the CD. I would like the CD to auto start only if the application doesn't exist.
