Start Screen Creator
A program of mine created a file which is 7gb big. Then the program got stuck, and my drive was out of space.. I didn't mean to create this, but i did, so that sucks.. Now when i want to delete the 7gig thing, it says 'Can't delete, since another thing is using/running this' while i'm not running anything! I restarted computer and tried again; no succes.. Can someone help? Is there a way to delete this file without getting sucky windows warnings? 
Thanks in advance!

Re: Can't delete; program is in use
Okay, i could fix it with another program..
I've got a question. I'm trying to make a new startscreen, in terms of an .exe. You run this exe, and you can select buttons. These buttons do something. SWFII uses one as well, when the cd is inserted.. I've used 'Autorun Pro Enterprise', a very cool program, but because of the thing in the first post, this program doesn't work anymore!
The autorun i created also stopped working..
Does someone know a program, or way, to create such an .exe? It needs to become a menu with background, and buttons which link to website, start another .exe, start a trailer and includes a slideshow..
Thanks in advance!

Re: Start Screen Creator
I have no experience with it but I'm fairly certain that it could be done with Flash.
I have a couple of CDs that have a menu like that runs when put them in the drive, they use Flash.
That's all I've got.

Re: Start Screen Creator
Okay, thanks.. I'll google a bit about Flash, though it will be harsh since loads of online things are made by Flash
All info would be appreciated though

And what kind of start screen?

Re: Start Screen Creator
I already deleted the program, but thanks 
I need to create a Launch screen.. So a screen where you can press buttons, which perform a certain action like visiting a website, starting a .exe or opening a slideshow etc.

Re: Start Screen Creator
It's very plain looking, but this should do the trick.

Good luck!

Re: Start Screen Creator
Hmm.. It looked good, but it generates an .ini file.. What i basicly want, is to make an individual .exe file, or an .exe file which only refers to files in the same folder.. I couldn't find it.. Except for the other program what crashed 
Thanks though for your help

Re: Start Screen Creator
The ini is the setup file for the CDStarter.exe. So after CDStarterconfig.exe generates the your setup into an ini file, copy the ini, CDStarter.exe and any assets that you used onto your CD. Then create an autorun.inf, in your CD's root, with this in it:
That should make cdstarter(with the custom ini) run when you put the CD in.
Code: Select all
[autorun]
open=cdstarter.exe
icon=*YOUR ICON NAME GOES HERE*.ico-

Re: Start Screen Creator
But i don't want a cd-related thing! I just want an .exe file which is like an ini. So run the exe, and a screen will pop-up with those buttons.. That's basicly the concept

Re: Start Screen Creator
Oops, my bad. I thought you wanted it on a CD.
I'll try again.
After CDStarterconfig.exe generates the your setup into an ini file, copy the ini, CDStarter.exe and any assets that you used to wherever you want. Run Cdstarter.exe and it'll display the menu that you made with the config program.
