Autorun is a feature within Microsoft Windows that detects when a CD is inserted into the CD-ROM and runs the applications on the disc automatically. It is a convenient way to create an installation CD for anything from video games to integral system programming.

Steps

1
Open Windows Notepad. To begin making an autorun CD, click open the start menu followed by a folder named "Accessories." Open Windows Notepad, which will be located within that folder. Alternatively, you can also type "Notepad" into the search or run bars on your Start menu in order to launch it directly.

2
Create an Autorun.inf file, which is a text file that Windows automatically looks for when a CD-Rom is placed into your system. Type the following into Notepad: [autorun] open=Filename.exe icon=Filename.ico
3
Replace both 'filenames' with the actual name of the program's .exe and .ico that you are trying to burn to the autorun CD. After finishing that, save the file. However, instead of saving it as a .txt file, choose "All Files" from the "Save As" drop down menu. Name the file Autorun.inf and save it to your desktop. If the program you are trying to make an autorun CD out of doesn't have an .exe file, it may have a .msi file instead. If this is the case, replace the open=Filename.exe with open=Filename.msi.
4
Burn the Autorun CD. Start your CD burning program and follow the instructions for burning the type of disc you are trying to make. Now that you have the Autorun.inf saved to your desktop, find it and add it to your CD. Place it in the main directory of the CD itself, as this is where Windows will look for the file.
- Check the burning software's options thoroughly. Some types of CD burning software have an option to make the disc autorun capable or bootable automatically. If you are using this tutorial in order to make an installable copy of a computer operating system, you need to find the option to make your CD bootable, as just making it an Autorun CD will not fulfill that on its own.
5
Place the CD in your disc tray. Make sure to test your newly made Autorun CD before you delete any of the program materials. The CD will launch automatically if the steps were followed correctly and the burning process completed without errors.

HOW TO MAKE STRAIGHT CABLE (LAB - KERJA KHUSUS)

HOW TO MAKE STRAIGHT CABLE (LAB - KERJA KHUSUS) FORM 4

HOW TO MAKE AN ETHERNET CABLE
Purchasing fully made Ethernet cables from the store can be quite expensive. It is far easier to simply buy a box of bulk Category 5 Ethernet cable and then attach your own RJ-45 connectors to the cut ends to your preferred length.

Bulk Ethernet Cable - Category 5 or CAT5

Bulk RJ45 Crimpable Connectors

RJ-45 Crimping tool

There are two kinds of Ethernet cables you can make. Straight Through andCrossover.STRAIGHT THROUGH - Ethernet cables are the standard cable used for almost all purposes. It is highly recommend you duplicate the color order as shown on the left. Note how the orange pair is not side by side as are all the other pairs. This configuration allows for longer wire runs.

CROSSOVER CABLES - The purpose of a Crossover Ethernet cable is to directly connect one computer to another computer (or device) without going through a router, switch or hub.

Here's how to make a standard cable:

cut into the plastic sheath 1 inch from the end of the cut cable. The crimping tool has a razor blade that will do the trick with practice.

Unwind and pair of the similar colors.

Pinch the wires between your fingers and straighten them out as shown.

(The wire colors line up to form a straight through standard cat 5 cable as described above.)

(We apologize that this picture on the left is not the exact same color order as the picture above showing straight through cables. Please use the color combinations above and we will replace this photo soon.)

Use scissors to make a straight cut across the wires 1/2 Inch from the cut sleeve to the end of the wires.

Push the wires into the connector. Note the position of the blue plastic shielding. Also note how the wires go all the way to the end.

A view from the top. All the wires are all the way in. There are no short wires.

WRONG WAY - Note how the blue plastic shielding is not inside the connector where it can be locked into place. The wires are too long. They should be 1/2 inch from the sleeve.

WRONG WAY - Note how the cables do not go all the way to the end of the connector.

CRIMPING THE CABLE ... carefully place the connector into the Ethernet Crimper and cinch down on the handles tightly. The copper splicing tabs on the connector will pierce into each of the eight wires. There is also a locking tab that holds the blue plastic sleeve in place for a tight compression fit. When you remove the cable from the crimper, the cable is ready to use.

For a standard cable, repeat all steps on the other end of the Ethernet cable exactly. For a cross-over cable, make sure to get the color order right.
