You could do it with the HTML display Control from that guy "PBear" and  (www.pbear.com) This lets you trap the clicking of linsk etc.
It would need to be an application, but it would work.

Subject: [DUG] [Off-Topic] Run EXE's from local HTML page

I've written an HTML web page to burn onto CD's along with my software, and will AutoRun when inserted.  The page has some links to a few executables on the CD.  But for the life of me I can't get the executables to run when they are clicked.  This works fine from a website with the usual security warnings, but what is going on here?  Any ideas?  A better method?
 
Regards,
Ross. 
 
Does 'usual security warnings' mean you've set access for the WebServer user (presuming IIS? can't remember sorry)
to allow read permission to the path?
And you'd probably need to allow execute permission to the folder that the exe's are in -
whether you can do that when burning or not I've no idea.
 
Cheers, Kurt.
