hello,
i am new at using nero. i have a few questions about burning with it. i will make it as short and simple as possible.
1. how do i start out with it? do i unzip a program to a folder, and then burn the folder?
2. how do i make it an iso image? does it have to be zipped, or unzipped to a folder to create the iso?
3. what is the best space saving way to burn software?
4. and last but not least, how do you make the programs on the cd autoexec.?

1. You may burn any type of files you, zipped or not zip. On my computer if Nero is installed with the default locations, it START / PROGRAMS / AHEAD NERO / NERO -BURNING ROM
Depending on the version you use, you may start with a "Nero Wizard" menu sequence, that you select "compile a new cd" or "copy a cd" , be able to select audio , data or other types of burns. Audio selection will allow you to make cd's that will play in a regular cd player.
If doing audio, Nero will convert mp3's into correct format. With audio , you must burn your audrio selections in a single burn, you cannot burn a few songs and then add more later, it must be a single pas burn OR it will not play in a regular cd player. Also you cannot use re-writables to make audio cd's , must have regular blank cd's to burn audio cd's if you want it to play in a regular comsumer cd player.
2. I haven'tyet tried burning iso's with nero, but once the nero is running I did notice under file there is a "burn image" selction where you can choose a iso load. When trying a "save as" function it seams to save an iso but I don'tbeleive it is a ture image as teh size dosn't match content, but you could try it. Also check under the help tab to see what you find on that subject.
3. You can burn ziped files to put more stuff ont the cd, but it would have to copied / unzipped onto the hard drive before you could insatll or use anything. Not zipping may inable you to install direct from the cd rom.
4. to autorun, you must have a file called "autorun.inf" in the root directory of the cd . the instructions in this file will autorun if the cd properties is set to "autoinsert" mode. I am not sure of all the commands that can be exucuted as I have not made a lot of autorun cd's . but I will add two examples of autorun.inf files bellow...

open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0
