TSGL: Autorun.inf syntax

[William Pike]

You need to use the "start" command to run an HTML like that,,, see this
site for info...OR, look into the shellexe.exe program for starting
documents via autorun.inf...

For info on the "start" command
http://www.ancestralauthor.com/support/makecd.htm this is a site for
genealogy, but the info on autorun is good for anything..

For the shellexe program

I've used this many times and it works great.

Subject: TSGL: Autorun.inf syntax

I am preparing a CD containing a number of artworks.  These are contained in
a folder named "Artworks".  I want the CD to open at the file "Thumbs.html"
automatically on inserting the CD. This file is in the "Artworks" folder.
(Actual names do not include quotes).

I have made a file which I have named "autorun.inf" containing the following
instructions:

[autorun]
   open=Artworks/Thumbnails.html

I placed this file in the root of the CD.

It doesn't work.

Where have I gone wrong?

OS is XP.
