OK; so you wrote a program named "start.exe" but why do you expect Windows
to execute it? Your AUTORUN.INF file tells the system to execute a program
named "autorun.exe" with a parameter of "start.html"; there's no mention of
"start.exe" .

If you (or whoever isn't seeing the automatic start) are in a corporate
environment, check the policies on the computer. The autorun feature is
considered (correctly) to be a significant security exposure, and "best
practices" installations disable it.
