There is/was an issue with using the cd autorun feature on Win9.x/NT that was
enabled by default. Bascily, one can just create a CD with a autorun.inf file
to run whatever. I am not sure if Win2k is affected by this.

It should be fairly easy to create your own to do whatever. Looking back
through the archives, here is one example.

I do remember quite a few "tools" floating around, but couldn't locate any
googling, course i really didn't spend a whole lot of time looking either. :)
