you need an autorun.inf file in the very outside root of your disk.

it's easy to make just open notepad and place the following code in it:

[autorun]
shellexecute=index.htm

save the file as autorun.inf and burn it to the disk on the outermost level.

note, you will have to change the file after the = to reflect the index file
on your disk.
