Creating a html autorun does not work. Your cd-rom does not know what to do with this file. I do know how to get an autorun going but don't know how to create one , im no programmer, so can't help you there.
Um like this:

Make an Autorun CD-ROM

To make a CD run a program automatically you use a file named autorun.inf you create the file autorun.inf in a text editor like Notepad. The file autorun.inf is than located on the CD's root directory. The first line of the file needs to say

[autorun]

add a second line with "open=" and the program desired. For example an autorun.inf file like this

[autorun]
open=explorer.exe /n,/e,.

would make the CD open up Windows Explorer. Rather than launch an executable you can have Windows launch an html file, use the following for example

[autorun]
open=start.exe yourfilename.html


I quite often make my own Auto starting software CD's but have never actually tried it with multiple games! I do believe that it could work using the HTML way but not actually sure? Thats why I asked.
