CdWeb creator is a tool to publish file collections
on a CD in HTML format or to create fancy html index pages for directory listings.
It offers a wizard based interface that allows you to browse for files to be
included in the collection and then creates the autorun.inf and additional html
files that contain a listing of the files and a link to each one. The design
of the html page can be customized, however the defaults look pretty stylish
and don't require much changing. If placed on a CD, it will automatically launch
the designated page, giving the user an overview of the files. There is two
interfaces, the standart ("expert" mode) and the wizard (beginner,
expert and if you want to create quickly and easily
your file collections on a CD). You
can add colorized scrollbars (if you're using Internet Explorer 5.5 or later)
to your webpages very easily and with no knowlege of writing CSS code.
LABEL CREATOR 4000 is a FREEWARE included in CdWeb CREATOR, which makes it possible
to design its own labels and covers of CD (label of CD, front and back covers...).
>>Two interfaces coexiste, the standart interface and the wizard interface.

will be saved.(Tips : if all files scanned are on your drive D, save HTML files
on the root of your drive D). In [select destination] choose your drive letter
where all HTML pages will be saved.
Select the [First page to load] - EXPLANATIONS : CdWeb creator generates all
your html pages, directory names [icons], a file named [autorun.inf] and a file
named [icon.ico].... When you choose the first page to load, the file [autorun.inf]

files and directories created by CdWeb Creator ( Icons directory, Autorun.inf,
icon.ico, loadhtml.exe, and your Web pages).
It's easy.
