Windows 95 crash CD

Question: I have heard that it is possible to burn a CD so that it crashes under Windows 95. How does that work?

Answer (from Stefan Momberger <momberger@wtal.de>): Create a text file in the base directory of the source called `AUTORUN.INF' and enter the following:

[autorun]
open=RunDLL32.exe User,ExitWindows

You can use CrossDOS to convert the text to PC text (in particular, this converts LF to CR/LF). Inserting the CD switches off Win95. Since Win95 allows you to disable the automatic starting of CD-ROMs, this doesn't always work.
