CD contents and other info

When you open the autorun, you have to enter in an authentication code. Down below the text input, it clearly says what the authentication code is. What even is the point of having an authentication code if you already know it anyway? Anyways, the authentication code is "hoang".
The autorun plays Dragostea Din Tei on startup.
The WPI plays Con Lat Dat - Hoang Chau during installation.
The CD has a custom folder background.
