Comment:
I created some CD files using Roxio Easy Cd Creator version 6 on a pc. When I close the disks so that they can be read on any CD-Rom, I still can't open them on my mac. I get three separate files, on and .exe file, the other a .zl file and third is an .inf file.
These CDs have photos and files on them.
I tried to open them with Terminal and System Profiler and I couldn't. I also mistakenly set defaults for opening the files when I was searching for a way to open then and now I can't change the defaults.
Is there anything I can do to open them on my Macbook?
Will I need to get Roxio Toast and will those files work on a pc?
Sounds like the photos were saved in a way that when you open the .exe file on the CD, it opens the photos up in a pre-determined program to be view as a slide show. When you load the disc in a PC do you see the actual photo files on the disc or do you have to double click on the .exe file to view the files?
To change what program opens a file, right click (or control click) on the file and choose "open with" and select the proper program to open that file with. If you want to make a change system wide for opening a certain file type, right click on the file and choose "Get Info". Towards the bottom of the window that comes up there should be a heading for "Open with". Click on the triangle to expand the heading, choose the program you want to use from now on and click on the "Change All" button.
