AutoRun/AutoStart
Microsoft Windows and Macintosh support opening an application or document when the CD is inserted. CDEveryWhere can setup your CD to do this from the 
window.
AutoRun for Microsoft Windows
Windows uses a special file in the root directory of the CD to specify which application to run. If you are not familar with this file, CDEveryWhere can create it for you. Check the "Enable" box in "AutoRun for Windows". You can type in the filename or choose the "Browse" button to select it from the CD layout. You must already have files in the CD layout to browse.
The file created by CDEveryWhere will not appear on your hard drive or on the layout window. It is created when you create the image file. AutoRun has many features that are not available here. If you want to use these features, disable CDEveryWhere's AutoRun and create your own file.
NEW FEATURE - Windows does not support starting a document (HTML, PDF, Word, etc.), so you always needed to specify an application. As of version 2.0, however, CDEveryWhere will include an application on the CD if you choose to autorun a file other than an application. The name of the application is "autorunner.exe". The application will ask Windows to start the default application for the document you wish to open, such as the default web browser for HTML documents. There may be configuration errors on a particular machine causing the autorun to fail. This is a configuration problem in with the machine, not an error in CDEveryWhere or autorunner.exe.
AutoStart for Macintosh
AutoStart for Macintosh can open an application or document when the CD is inserted. The end user must have the QuickTime 2.0 or above extension installed and enabled. The application or document must be in the root directory of the CD and be less than 11 characters. Check the "Enable" option in "AutoStart for Macintosh" and type in the name or click "Browse" to select it from the CD layout. You must already have files in the CD layout to browse.
Note: CDEveryWhere set up the feature called QuickTime AutoStart. Mac OS quietly discontinued this feature due to the security problem. There is no way to auto start a file on a data CD on Mac OS X anymore. In fact, there is no standard way to open a particular file on a CD, such as autorun.inf file on Windows, when a CD is inserted into Mac OS X. How a Mac OS X behaves is highly depending on the user specific settings. In a sense, Mac OS X works similar to Linux systems. The rsultant CD still auto start on Mac OS 9 or 8.
