I've been trying to get a Windows Media file to autorun on my Windows XP
machine. I tried a lot of the suggestions in this newsgroup, with no luck.
Here's the solution that did work:

Create the following autorun.inf file on the CD with the media file to be
autorun:

[autorun]
open=explorer MyMovie.wmv
icon=MyIcon.ico

This file assumes the media file is at the root level of the CD. The 'open'
line uses explorer.exe to open the media file. So, the line invokes whatever
application the media file happens to be associated with on the user's
machine and loads the file into it. For files associated with Windows media
player, the file will begin playing automatically.

The icon line can be omitted if you don't provide a custom icon for the CD.
