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.
