I think you create the menu's in a HTML document like a web page. Set up your images, then assign your links to the programs from each of the images. I think its best to arrange them into individual folders. Now I'm not sure about Autorun, but I think thats how they make the menu's. I would use a program like dreamweaver.

I use to simply use the autorun file from an existing software CD, which opened up the HTML menu as stated above, by Bucknaked.

I used to use a nice freeware program called visual autorun, its pretty foolproof and does a pretty neat job. Its probably worth checking out.

it doesn't appear to be freeware anymore but maybe the demo will do what you want.. or maybe you could buy/crack it ;)

Cracking is nasty and illegal and no-one should ever do it :P

for a foolproof autorun setup download this zip file i put on some free webspace


autorun.zip

it contains 3 files

autorun.inf
cd.ico
search.exe

you have to edit the autorun.inf. below is what the inf file contains

---------
[autorun]

OPEN=search.exe index.html
ICON=cd.ico
---------


simply change index.html to the file name you want it to automatically run, or however if the menu is a html file, just make sure it's called index.html

then burn those 3 files onto the cd along with your index.html menu and other files
