K.soft updates CDStartDummy!

Philadelphia-based K.soft announces the release of version 1.6 of CDStartDummy!, a utility to easily create auto-playable CD-ROMs for Windows. CDStartDummy! creates CD presentations that appear automatically when the disc gets inserted into a computer's CD-ROM drive. CDStartDummy! allows users to use any type of file to autoplay on your CD including Web pages, movies, and more. Users can also add a splash screen graphic, music, icons, and other effects.
