CDview v2.0

CD front-end / image viewer




This program is distributed as freeware


* Description

This program is for those of you with CD writers who want to compile a CD of images.

It acts as the CD's front-end, allowing you to browse through all the images on the disc.
You can select to view full size, search for specific images, make an image your Windows wallpaper, or run a fullscreen slideshow of your images directly from CD.

	CDview.exe
	cdview.ini
	menupic.jpg
	msvbvm60.dll
	autorun.inf
	readme.txt (Please include this file)

2) When you create your CD, just place all the files listed above on the CD's root directory.

	Create a folder called 'Images' and copy all your picture files there.
	Pictures can be in BMP, JPG or GIF formats. 

3) That's it! Now when you insert the CD, the CDview app will auto run.

CDview comes with its own default background image, but if you want to add your own...

Just include a .jpg image (width 400, Height 375) and name it 'menupic.jpg'.
This graphics file must be in the same folder as the cdview.exe application file.

You can also add your own title to the CDview menu screen by editing the CDview.ini file.
Enter your new title and title colour, and CDview will automatically read this when run.
