WHY DOES NOT AUTORUN WORK WITH
MY CD/DVD DRIVE?
Since Windows 95 all versions of Windows has supported
the AutoRun technology. This technology allows programs
and menu interfaces, that are distributed on CDs and
DVDs, to be opened automatically when the disc is
inserted in the computer’s drive.
But sometimes, in some computers, nothing happens when
an AutoRun CD or DVD is inserted in the drive. Or, a
window with the title “AutoPlay” is shown on the screen
with a list with options, and you must click on the
program or menu name to open it. A window similar to

is linked to the file, so when a user clicks on the icon,
the program file is run.
This is very easy done in Visual Installer, and the
following step-by-step tip will show you how to add a
shortcut to a program file:
