O.P. Huh?  autorun.ini or autorun.inf ? [Solved]
Hello.

I want to burn a CD that will autorun a file when that cd is inserted into the cd drive.

However, I was wondering, does the extension of the autorun file need to be .ini or .inf?
I searched google for "autorun.ini" and "autorun.inf" and both results said "use autorun.ini to make a program run when the cd is inserted" or "use autorun.inf to make a program run when the cd is inserted"
I was wondering, should the autorun file have an .ini extension or a .inf extension? :S
I was thinking about making the same file with both of the extension in my cd...

Also, an autorun file should be like this eh?

code:
[autorun]
open=MyProggy.exe
icon=MyProggy.ico

Also, if I was to execute a .txt file, it should be like this eh?
code:
[autorun]
ShellExecute=CoolTxtFileHere.txt
icon=TheCDIcon.ico

Thanks.
