Create an Autoplay CD

How to Create An Auto-Play CD

PC Magazine 05.04.2004

The application CDs that you buy launch automatically, and your burned CDs can do the same. They can invoke a setup program or display an HTML page that links to the CD's contents. Use Notepad to create a three-line text file based on the lines below, and name it Autorun.inf. Place the file in the CD's root directory.

[autorun]

open=setup.exe

icon=icon.ico

Replace setup.exe with the program that should launch when the CD is inserted, and replace icon.ico with the file containing the CD's icon. In both cases, be sure to omit the drive letter. If you want to launch a nonexecutable item like an HTML file, precede it with start.exe in the open= line. Note that all file links in the HTML file should be relative ones, omitting the drive letter.

Try

[autorun]
open=start.exe index.html

Speed up Adobe Acrobat 6 startup

PC Magazine had a very similar article, however I found this on www.x1000forums.com by looking at Google's cache of the page.

(Easily reversible if you change your mind).

1) Start Adobe Reader. To turn off the splash screen go to Edit - Preferences - Startup then uncheck the box "Display Splash Screen". I also turn off "Show messages and automatically update".

2) Shutdown Adobe Reader. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader (replace the C: if you installed on another drive).

3) Create a new folder called plug_ins_disabled or plug_ins_backup, your choice.

4) Move all the files and the folders (except three files see #5) from the plug_ins folder to the disabled or backup folder you just created.

5) Leave the following three files in the original folder, EWH32.api, search.api and search5.api, if you have them. [If you use adobe to print across the internet, leave in printme.api] [If you want the weblinks to work, leave in escript.ini and weblink.ini]
Now start Adobe Reader and enjoy the speed increase.

(Once again, If you change your mind, simply move all the files back.)

PC Mag's article says to leave EWH32.api, printme.api, and search.api in the original folder.
