cd2browse allows you to easily create browseable HTML-based menus from ordinary directory structures, and publish these menus on CD or DVD. cd2browse employs Javascript tree menus (or, optionally, a web-inspired self-expanding menu structure) to provide a clean, easily navigated view of your files.

Core features :

analyses the file tree, extracts valuable information out of the files, such as title, size, age, and number of pages and creates a browsable html index out of it. In other words after cd2browse has finished, you have a browasable view of the scanned directory structure
creates thumbnails of images in the file tree - this can be switched off during creation also the size of the thumbnails can be defined
creates previews of all images in the scanned file tree and make them browsable as a gallery the size can be defined
provides a offline java script based search engine which allows a full text search. Indexed files are: pdf, word , excel, powerpoint and html documents
does not affect the file tree itself. The resulting html files are outside the original file tree - so the file tree is not messed up with index or preview files.
is customizable according to your needs. The look and feel can be changed using templates.
cd2browse is open source, structured, documented an licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2.
Using the menu needs no software installation, you just need a modern browser which is able to run java script. The menus are built in pure html and java script.
burning the menu and files on cd or dvd will force the cd to auto-start if the disc is inserted into the drive (Windows).
