Hi all, I have created a ms powerpoint presentation to show the workings of the Data Link Layer. What I would like to do is have it so that when a user inserts the floppy disk the *.ppt presentation will autorun, is this possible with a floppy disk? if not would it be simple to do on CD it's just the presentation will fit onto a floppy. I have noticed on numerous CDs' the code: [autorun] open=setup.exe icon=setup.ico can this be improvised for floppy and my *.ppt file. Thanking you M

Hi, I'm sorry but the floppy drive haven't the autorun function. you can just make an autorun with CD's and HDD's. But may be you can help me, I have make a program in Visual Studio 6 (VB6) I have make the package (Setup.exe, setup.lst, and *.cab), but It's necessary I have just 1 file and not 3 files, How make this ? Thks Chris

Kb article How to Test Autorun.inf Files shows how to make a floppy run autorun.inf files, but this would still require you to alter the registry before hand which is problematic to say the least. I'm thinking you'll at least need to name the executable that runs your *.ppt file. By default it may first look for *.ppt file where it is run from, otherwise search for a program called Shelexec.exe or shellexec in general for more info which can be made to pass on specific file names to executables for the executable to then run. Shellexec was made for CD autorun use. More info perhaps even helping Chris is Kb article HOWTO: Enable Autorun for Applications Distributed on CD-ROM.
