Don, if you need it to be multiplatform compatible, see this:

Describes how to create a CD which will                   automatically start with a specified HTML page in the user's                   browser when inserted in a Windows, Mac, or Linux system.

"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.
