How to get presentation to start automatically

[texastrees]

I created the autorun.inf file with

[autorun]

open=Lily 3.pte

icon=Lily 3.pte

as the body. This is not starting my presentation. What am I doing wrong?? I feel like such a fathead! I'm sorry

The file you should be wanting to run should be an EXE

[autorun]

open=name.exe

You should avoid using spaces in your file name.

as this may cause problems.

Okay, I took out the space and replaced the pte with exe. The error message says:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access this item."

Does this sound like a common error?

Hello,

Make sure you have the correct name in your open statement. As the example that Chuck gave you. Using your file name (and assuming that when you created your PTE executable you removed the "space") it would look like this:

[autorun]

open=Lily3.exe

The "Lily3.exe" file needs to be in the root of the CD along with your Autorun.inf file. The "icon=" portion really isn't required in the autorun file, so for now just leave it off.

Just make sure your open= file name matches exactly to the executable ".exe" file that you've created and it should work fine.

Please let us know if you get it going and don't be hard on yourself, everyone has to create their first autorun.inf file. Once you get it, you'll find that it is extremely easy as long as the names all match correctly.

Good luck!

If you have trouble making the autorun file, maybe you must try Granot's very useful utility AutorunMaker.
