It sounds like you want to setup a CD that will 'autorun' a startup program when inserted.

See google... http://www.google.com/search?q=create+autorun+cd

If you don't know any programming languages, using a HTML page or two might be easiest.

You can create two pages: one for the splash screen, which will then meta refresh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh) to the second page, with links to the programs on the CD. If you don't know any HTML, you can use NVU (http://www.nvu.com/)/KompoZer (http://www.kompozer.net/) to make a couple simple pages (you will probably have to add the meta refresh code manually).

You will want to create an Autorun file (http://autorun.moonvalley.com/autoruninf.htm). You can use the command "start splash.html" to open your splash page with the user's default browser (assuming it's named splash.html, and is on the root folder of the CD).

CD Menu. (http://www.blingo.com/search?q=cd+menu)
I like to use CD Front end. (http://www.soft82.com/download/windows/cd-frontend-lite/)
