Here is the most simple way to do it:
Open notebook and type:
[autorun]
open=YourIrfanViewDiashow.exe
Save this text to a file named autorun.inf
Burn this autorun.inf to the root of the cd.
Notice that in this example the show is also in the root(path) of the cd.

i dont understand the part you mention about the show is also in the root (path) of the cd?

so i use notepad to type in your example and save it as txt but name it a inf extension? dont i need to know what the drive letter of the cd is?

In my reply, I kept it as simple as possible. So I didn't mension any paths. It still is as I told you: both files (autorun.inf and ivshow.exe) are to be burned directly to your cd. When a cd is put in a cd drive, Windows looks automaticly at a autorun.ini file, it doesn't matter which drive letter your cd drive has got. The root of a drive can be seen as the trunk of a tree (for instance C:\ for your start drive), the folders are the branches. So in this example there are no folders, both files are burned directly to the root.
