Trying to create an autorun.inf file to burn to CD to launch a program
to make it easy run someone to run without to much trouble.

The command I have looks like this:

[autorun]
open=e:\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe laymans1.pdf

I have the e: in there because that is my CD Burner drive, however, I
want to be able to use the CD in a friend PC that may have his CD as
drive d: or may drive e:. Can I replace the e: with some way to tell it
to use the drive that the CD is in at the time? I have tried to leave
the e: off and will not run. It needs the drive designator there but
that is one variable that may change. Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you in advance.

I already tried that it does not work that way.

I always thought it would be something like this :

[autorun]
open=Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe laymans1.pdf


So no driveletter and no heading \

try it :-)
