Despite the fact the file association is not there now, the CD that I made yesterday still autoruns, so there must be something to this "shows it to you when it decides it wants to" nonsense. More to talk with Billy about if I ever get a chance.
Besides, Autorun.ini will not accept a path, relative or otherwise, either. The file to be opened must be in the root directory with autorun. I need a C wrapper, say setup.exe, to open perl and it's command line argument. Assuming I can do a relative path in C of course. If only i knew how to do that. I have a beginning C book and an advanced C book. Apparently it's in the middle-ing C book :) ms At 06:34 AM 7/26/2006, you wrote: >Michael D.
