    Hi there, does anyone know the process of making an icon for your burn cds?

    For example; i burn a cd with information, music, pictures..etc. Then when i placed the cd in the drive, instead of showing a cd picture, there will be an icon of my own choice.

    So does anyone know how to create icon and placed in the cd??

    Thank you.

    i belive you have to make an autorun.inf file. lets say you want your pic to be a file called 123.ICO

    basically you create a new text document and type in the following

    [autorun]
    icon=123.ICO

    then just save the file as AUTORUN.INF and place it in the cd, then you get your pic (123.ico in this case) and put it in the cd aswell. make sure that the autorun and the pic are in the main cd area and not in any folders or anything.

    im not entirely sure if it will work the same for a bmp or jpg picture but i see no reason why not

    you can also make programs autorun in the same way, lets say you wanted the program 123.exe to run as soon as you enter the disc youd make your autorun.inf but add the open command i.e

    [autorun]
    open=123.exe
    icon=123.ICO

    its pretty simple really.

    let me know how you get on
