Using CDMenuPro you can create an attractive and professional CD Menu for your CD or DVD and a front-end menu for your USB stick (USB flash drive)

Why do you need a CD Menu / Frontend Menu ?

Never distribute a portable medium without a user interface

An entirely amateurish impression is made by portable media not furnished with an Autostart application which informs the user directly about the medium's type and contents, and serves to guide the user. Users should never have to be responsible for figuring out which program or file to click on to obtain the desired information.

A presentation has to be impressive - the first impressions count

It goes without saying, of course, that the success of the business presentation will depend on how much impact your presentation makes. As well as making it attractive and professional, it is also essential to remember the old adage that first impressions count. When your customers insert the CD or DVD into their drives, you want them to be presented with a clear introduction frontend menu giving them all the options available. You certainly don't want to be making them search through all the files in the hope of finding your presentation. Getting off to a good start is essential, after all you don't want to annoy your users before you have even gotten started. A smooth and well presented introduction enables your presentation to shine through.

Glossary

Autorun
The Windows operating system comes complete with a feature that automatically starts programs when a data carrier is changed (such as when a CD ROM is inserted). The information needed to do this is contained in the "Autorun.inf" text file.

Autoplay or autostart
Autorun, autoplay and autostart are different terms for the same function, that is, the function that starts a program automatically when a data-storage medium is changed.

CD and DVD
As far as the Windows operating system is concerned, there is no difference between a CD and a DVD. Both are data-storage mediums with different storage capacities, the only difference is the way in which they are recorded. All of the information given on this website applies to both CDs and DVDs.

CD Menu
A CD Menu has a graphic user interface and provides an interactive way for users to navigate computer programs. It makes it possible to choose and activate a particular action from a list of possible actions without having to know or use the exact command strings in text form or keyboard shortcuts. An autorun menu is a special kind of menu that is used for CD ROMs or DVD ROMs on computers running the Windows operating system. The autorun feature of the operating system is used to open a menu window automatically when a CD is inserted into the CD drive.

CD Menu Software
A program for creating and editing CD menu applications.

Autorun CD, also known as an autoplay CD or autostart CD
Autorun, autoplay and autostart are three different terms for the same function. When a CD is inserted into the CD ROM drive on a Windows Computer, a program is started automatically. A multi-media presentation is one of the most common uses. If the CD contains several presentations or documents, it makes good sense to start the CD with an autorun CD menu, which tells the user about the type and content of the CD and which can be used to start the presentations, documents and programs with the help of buttons.

* USB Flash Drive (USB Stick)
Microsoft will be blocking the auto-run function for USB sticks (USB flash drive) for future Windows updates. This is because USB sticks have been used to infect computers with viruses. Nevertheless, it still makes sense to use a menu program for USB sticks and you can read why here: USB autorun
