RE: [flasher] OT: How do I burn a CD without its generic icon?

[Paul Willoughby]

Hi James,


Is the CD only ever intended for Mac use? If it's going to be used on a PC,

this old post from Muzak should help you:

----------------------------------------

Q: how do you make a CD autorun with my own icon?


Make a Standalone Projector (.exe) of your Flash movie (File > Publish

settings). Then make an autorun.inf file, in Notepad or any

plain texteditor, with the following two lines in it:


[autorun]

open=yourfile.exe


There's no need to specify a drive (e.g. D:\...) but if your Projector file

is not in the root of the CD, you have to specify the

path to the folder it is in. (e.g. open=somefolder\yourfile.exe)

Put both files (yourfile.exe and autorun.inf) on the CD, and that's it.

If you want to use a specific icon for the CD-drive when your CD is

inserted, you can add this line to the autorun.inf file:


icon=youricon.ico

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------


I don't know how you'd do this for a Mac CD :(
