To make a CD-ROM run a program automatically you use a file named autorun.inf
You create the file autorun.inf in a text editor like Notepad. The file autorun.inf is than located on the CD's root directory. The first line of the file needs to say
[autorun]
add a second line with "open=" and the program desired.
For example an autorun.inf file like this
[autorun]open=explorer.exe /n,/e,.
would make the CD open up Windows Explorer.
Rather than launch an executable you can have Windows launch an html file, use the following for example
[autorun]open=start.exe yourfilename.html
With that you can have the CD launch a web page that then provides navigation to content on the CD.
