| 151646 | 2003-06-10 15:10:00 | I made a *.bat file to execute a *.html file when I put it on a CD but it no work :-(! The bat file contains a single line. index.html This line should work right. Or am I a Dumbass? The *.html file is named the same thing as the line and the bat and html files are next to each other in the dir. |

Try this direct link: pressf1.pcworld.co.nz I would reccomend the link to Karens Ware as an excellent free program for achieving this. www.karenware.com Ian |

| 151648 | 2003-06-10 19:43:00 | There are several problems that can be occuring with this: 1 - index.html is not a valid statement in DOS - it only likes .COM .EXE .BAT etc - programs which have the ability to run by themselves. You should try using "START index.html" (without the quote marks) 2 - Command is pointing to the wrong directory. Depending how you have your autorun configured, if it is manually opening autorun, then you may find that the Command Prompt is actually pointing to C:\Windows\ or something like that. A completely easier way to do this would be to use the Forums FAQ on making an Autorun CD and get index.html to load by itself - don't have a Batch file do the job for you. Using the bat file is pointless due to the fact it is unnecessary. CyberChuck |
