Link to folder

Dave

I am burning a cd with a lot of folders. I want the user to be click a link
that open the cd in a browse window.

Is there code for that link? The folders are in the same directory as the
page with the link.

Thanks

Dave

You need to use a utility named shellrun to launch the web automatically.

Google for shellrun you will recieve several hits.

I found shellrun and it looks to be an autorun program. I have an autorun
that auto opens my index page. This page lists all of the programs on the
cd. I am hoping that by clikcing a link, explorer will open a new window so
the user can see/browse the program folders.

Thanks

I know that to browse the Programs folder on the cd I would enter:
<p align="left"><a href="Programs/" target="_blank">Browse the folders on
this disk</a></p>

with a href="Programs/"

The question is there a way to set the reference to the root directory on
the cd?

Thanks

Yes it can be done with an autorun.inf
Open notepad and type:

[AUTORUN]
shellexecute=foldername/index.htm

and save it as autorun.inf and place it on the CD **outside* of the web folder and that will open
your index page when the cd is inserted.

****However***** windows XP will not respond to this autorun, that's why you need the shellrun
which you point to
foldername/index.htm

When the CD is inserted, it automatically opens to the Home page aka index.htm
