Hi acutabove! According to
this article:
"Autorun.inf is the primary instruction file associated with the Autorun function. Autorun.inf itself is a simple text-based configuration file that tells the operating system which executable to start, which icon to use, and which additional menu commands to make available. In other words, autorun.inf tells Windows how to deal open the presentation and treat the contents of the CD.
The entire sequence is initiated when the "disk change notifcation" polling discovers a new disk in the CD or DVD ROM drive. Then, if the "Auto insert notification" feature is enabled (it is by default), Windows checks in the new disk's root directory for the existence of an "autorun.inf" file. If found, Windows then reads and follows the specific instructions this file defines. If no autorun.inf file is found, then Windows refers to the new disk by its serial number and executes the default actions associated with the (data or audio) content on the disk."
AutoPlay in QuickTime was I think well before QuickTime 7. I have QuickTime 7 Pro here and I couldn't see where this setting was.
I did find however on the
AppleScripts QuickTime webpage a script that deals with Auto Play. Look for the
Properties section about 66% down the page. Will it work in QuickTime 7? I really don't know.
Can you access other files on that CD?
I hope this helps you a little.
