StartX Description

The StartX was designed to be a very simple utility to allow you to call the CreateProcess API from the command line. Places where you might find StartX useful are in adding an Autorun.inf file to your CD-R / DVR-R Discs. For example suppose you have a text file called readme.txt on the root of your CD which you would like to run it automatically by displaying it in Wordpad maximized whenever the user inserts the CD. All you need to do is put StartX.exe, some ico file and the readme.txt files into the root directory and create a autorun.inf file with the following contents: open=StartX.exe /MAX "wordpad.exe readme.txt" icon=youricon.ico The more technically minded of you may say why is there a need to have this program since you can use "start filename" on autorun CD's without any apparent problems.
