I'm looking for some way to open a windows explorer window to browse a CD using HTML or Javascript or whatever. Hopefully someone who can help me will see this! If you do thanks for any help in advance.

Drive E:\ -- This works on my computer if I make it in Notepad and run it from My Documents....although it doesn't work when I click it in this post :(
No idea why.

Hiead
Do you mean automatically when the CD is put in the drive?

If so, look up autorun.inf. Use an autorun.inf file on the CD to start up a .bat file (also on the CD) which contains the instruction start index.html (with index.html being whatever HTML page you want to use). When you autorun the CD, your web browser should pop up with the appropriate page.

There are probably other ways, but that's the only way I've seen it done. Putting the start command directly in autorun.inf probably works too.

I've never actually tried this myself, so I could be wrong on any of the above. =)
