  Old  Autorun Menu's

I need to make an autorun menu for a CD, the cd will have programs such as Firefox, Opera, Open Office and the like. I'm wondering what the best way to go ahead would be!

I am experienced in VB, and could use that but my laptop doesn't like Visual Studio.net (its about 3 gig and I dont have that space free!)

Any other good tools I could use? Preferably very customisable!

Thanks!

Its not a web application. ;o

I would suggest going elsewhere for help with this, as this is a forum for web developers and designers.

The way that I've done things previously is to use a trusty autorun.inf file in the root of the CD. That, in conjunction with the power of the Flash's FSCommand means that you can have very rich menu systems to play with, very simply. (Rich vector user interfaces... Mmmmm *drools*)

Well, that's how I've done it in the past.
