Creating a .dat file to autorun for my program

I have an proj.dat file I am working on and I need some code in order to make it autorun and bypass any security I may have on there. Or do I simply remove the security?

Bypassing Security is against the Experts-Exchange TOS.

.dat files are not executable's in any case.. where you thinking a a autorun.inf?

Yea I was thinking autorun I believe. The dat file I found was inside of a CDD file - would the cdd file be an autorun file? Maybe not bypass the security, but add in info to make it run.
microsoft has pretty much disabled autorun.inf on removable media due to malware using it as a vector.
a basic autorun.inf

[autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0
label=My install CD
Mode=Administrator

Can I open the exe and edit it? Any ideas or thoughts?
WHY would you want to hex-edit an EXE?  Discussions about this are against the EE TOS

This answered my question although my question was very vague, and I was still trying to understand what I wanted to do.
Thank you angelic_webmaster.
