RE: [PCTECH] Autorun file

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you put it in the same folder, since you are burning your own CD
anyway??

Part of the problem is that you have set an absolute path but the path needs
to be relative, not absolute, since you really don't know the absolute path
the user will have.  I had trouble with this when I did it, so I just put
everything in one folder.  Much simpler, and it worked.

My own PC for example has 2 CD drives, labeled F & G.

Good thought!  What actually runs from a command prompt (in the root of the
CD drive) is:
 
start 2003-11\Index\Index.htm
 
But if I put it into the autorun.inf like this:
 
open=start 2003-11\Index\Index.htm
 
And burn it onto the CD, it doesn't work.

Yes I tried it, no it doesn't work.  Index.htm is _not_ in the same folder
as autorun.inf.
