HI folks, I want to be able to produce a CD of other programs with a front end menu system that allows the setup programs to be initiated at the click of a button, also some other menu related stuff.

Can anyone recommend a CD menu system - preferably a free one.

Please note, this is not a "whats on my cd" type menu, but to install 5-6 programs and display some pdf's etc.

    Off the top of my head, you could create the "menu system" as an HTML file, and add an autorun.inf file (if you want) so it opens automatically when the CD is inserted. And maybe use batch files or Javascript if you need to get all fancy...?

    I have used Auto Menu Builder ,for years. The free version has a small nag screen on start up.
    Will do everything you want , and its easy.
    My latest 'creation' :D:D

    After I have installed the OS.
    Insert the cd,
    From frontpage ,2 clicks ...........Printer is installed. etc
    From another page , its my Office or Photoshop.

    Another link from frontpage brings up the web pages .......ninity.com!
