MenuBox 5.0 is a DVD/CD AutoRun product from menubox.com, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, MenuBox is the reliable and compatible software and document launcher that does not force you to learn new authoring languages and tools.

MenuBox can be used in three different modes:
* HTML Window (HTML content in custom browser container, with options for borderless or full screen rendering, kiosk applications, wrap Web 2.0 apps, etc.)
* Text Window (simple text menus combined with graphics, mouseover information, sound, fade-in/fade-out effects, etc.)
* Windowless (e.g. to open a PDF, Word, PowerPoint or other document using AutoRun functionality)
All modes can be used to AutoRun-enable your CDs and DVDs. Conditional logic can be applied to install document viewers, to create multilingual applications and for failsafe fallback.
