HOW OUR DISKS WORK
When you insert one of our disks in your computer's disk drive, if the autoplay function is engaged, it will automatically open to a web page that is on the disk itself, not on the internet. Our disks do not install any software on your computer. The web page has a catalog of our listings. Here is a screen shot of the web page:
To access the disk's contents, click the "CLICK HERE" button and you will be able to browse folders and files on the disk from your web browser. If you do not have autoplay engaged on your computer, you can get to the disks' contents by opening the disk in a file manager and then opening the "Disk Contents" folder.
