Now i know a way to start and html page when the cd is loaded in the player. But how do i start .exe or .com files from the html file? I did something before but i completely forgot how to do this. Somebody just clicks on a link or a button and the program should start. The htmlpage should not close with this action. ~So it's your birthday today? congratulations and have a nice day.

Well, if you settle for IE only you can use VBScript...
This example opens M$Word plus a file that you specify.

you should be able to adapt it, work with "Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")" to the application that you want to open.
Just play around with it and see what it does, ok.

code:

<HTML>

   <HEAD>

   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>

   <!-- This in an activeX way of opening a file outside of your browser-->

   Dim objWord

   Sub Btn1_onclick()

   call OpenDoc("this/is/your/http/or/file/path/to/your/document.doc")

   End Sub



   Sub OpenDoc(strLocation)



   Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

   objWord.Visible = true

   objWord.Documents.Open strLocation

   End Sub



   </SCRIPT>

   <TITLE>Launch Word</Title>

   </HEAD>

   <BODY>

   <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON NAME=Btn1 VALUE="Open Word Doc">

   </BODY>

   </HTML>
