I'm burning a CD of JPGs for people, and don't know if they have any viewing SW. I'm looking for some viewing SW that can be run from the CD, along with an "AUTORUN.INF" to fire things up.

Can anyone assist with this search please?

This is direct from Irfanview help.

1. Method: The easiest way is if you have Nero Burning ROM (full or demo version) software installed:

1.1. Create and test (play) the slideshow in the Slideshow dialog.

1.2. Press in the slideshow dialog the button Burn to CD. (Note: the Nero-PlugIn for IrfanView must be installed)

1.3. Choose the burn option, Data-CD is default/recommended.

1.4. Insert empty CDR/CDRW in your burning device and burn it.

1.5. Done.



2. Method: Manual or special slideshow CD:

2.1. Copy IrfanView files into the root CD folder (you can also copy an INI file "i_view32.ini" with your settings)

2.2. Copy your images into the CD folder called e.g. "images"

2.3. Create a TXT file (in slideshow dialog or using Notepad) with the names of images. If your image files have names
like "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg" etc. the TXT should look like this:

.\images\image1.jpg

.\images\image2.jpg
etc.

In each line is a file name with relative paths (relative to IrfanView, i_view32.exe).

Save the TXT file e.g. as "slideshow.txt" in the CD root folder.

2.4. Create the "autorun.inf" file (Notepad). Write in the file 2 lines:

[AutoRun]
open = i_view32.exe /slideshow=slideshow.txt

Save "autorun.inf".

2.5. Done. Burn the CD using your burning software.

Great piece of FREE software.

Thanks Allen... I'll try this and see what I can do.
So, can I suspect you've used this?

I made a couple of cd's sometime ago and it worked find.
