No im trying to create the autorun.inf file.
Its a notepad file which conatins
[autorun]
open=whatever.exe
icon=whatever.ico

This is then saved as autorun.inf
Upon pressing save I get an error box which says format is read only, can not save, pick a different name.
This is my problem and this was not an issue with win98se, so im guessing its a setting in win 2000 (as like XP it nannies you a bit and assumes you dont know much) But I cant find it to turn it off so I can save the file.
No the CD has not even been thought of yet. I just want to save the autorun file so I can put in into the folder that needs to be burnt to a CD.
