Hints And Tips:

The Possible Pitfalls Of Plug And Play:

Remember that if a disc is inserted, it will be used. Don't
leave discs in the drive when you have finished using them.
Starting your computer with one there will certainly run it.
On the same note don't remove a CD-ROM while using it and then
put it back in, simply because you will run the program again,
which can cause problems (unless of course you want to run it
twice). 

Disc Not Responding:

Some CD-ROM Drives are slow to start, if you do not get an
immediate response from CDRunner, wait a few seconds, if still
no reponse, simply remove and re-insert the CD.

Program Manager Icons: 

Once you have installed CDRunner, you can safely delete any
Program Manager icons or groups associated with the CD's. 
CDRunner stores all of its information seperately from
Program Manager, and is a much easier way to run the CD.
Just note any properties (such as command line arguments)
needed to run the disc for future reference. 

Using Different Applications:

One possible way to use CDRunner to its fullest associate
a CD-ROM with an existing application.  For example a CD-ROM 
that is a graphics collection, can be set up to run your 
favorite graphics viewer by using the viewer as the executable,
if your viewer supported a command line option to log to a set 
directory, provide that as the command line, and when the disc
is inserted your viewer is ready! You could also use the
multiple feature to do this type of thing, and allow a choice
of graphics programs to be run when the disk is put in.
