I've created a very nice PowerPoint Show and plan to burn it to a CD ROM along with a AUTORUN Program so that when someone places the CD ROM into their PC, the PowerPoint Show automatically comes up. Unfortunately, I've made every attempt, but it isn't working.

I've used NOTEPAD and wrote the following program:


shellexecute=baseball.pps


My PowerPoint Show is a .pps file saved as baseball.pps.

I've looked at my hardware and after typing regedit, made sure that my settings are correct. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mark

Before the shellexecute=baseball.pps, I have the word autorun in brackets.

To get it to autorun from cd, open up notepad. Input the following:


open=baseball.pps

Click save as and change the 'save as type' to all files. Then name the file as "Autorun.inf" (without quotes)

AutoRun in brackets above the open command are needed.. Forum filter just stripped those out from my post.
