Question about autorun CDs

May 25, 2012

I have a course that I want to autolaunch whenever the user puts the CD into the drive.  Can I do this in the Presenter template or is this something only controlled on the compute in windows?

Thanks

Hey Jim!

To get the presentation to launch automatically, follow these easy steps:

1) From the Articulate menu, select Publish > CD. 

2) Complete the publish wizard as you would normally do. 
3) Open your output folder and drag the entire contents into your CD-R software. 

The final point is the key one here: You’ll want to make sure that you don’t simply drag the folder to burn, and that your CD-R software doesn’t create a folder on the CD. You need to have the contents of the output directory at the root level of the CD in order for autorun to work correctly. 

When the CD has finished burning, eject it from your computer and reinsert to test. If the above has been done correctly, your presentation should now run automatically.
