I want the main pdf document to open when the CD is inserted. the file name is 00nz1865 and the .inf file created in Note Pad read [autorun] open=00nz1865.pdf I tried putting the .inf file in the root directory with all the other files, tried putting just the two files together in the root directory, and also tried other confugurations. As far as I can see it was set up exactly the same as the files in a working autorun CD (from PC World NZ) - except for the file types. The CD was created by dragging and dropping files in Nero 5/Windows ME. The files were all visible in Exploere with the links functioning correctly in the main pdf file.	Guest (0)

You will need to call an executable that opens the document. The following URL has a program which can do this for you. www.duckware.com	Guest (0)
