I have created a Frontpage website with a great deal of family tree
information. I want to be able to distribute it to other family members so
that all the hyperlinks etc appear as they do in Frontpage and actually work.
I have Nero, but at present, none of the links appear properly. Do I have
to save the site in a special way before burning it?

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your help. When I read the info, it related to Frontpage 2002
and said:
On the Tools menu, point to Page Options, and then click the Compatibility
tab.


Deselect (uncheck) the Enabled with Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions
check box.
Unfortunately, I have no Compatibility tab to complete this task.
Do you happen to know what I should do?

so just to clarify, I cannot put a published folder that I made for internet
use on the CD.(my website backups)

I must open the working (design) site and publish to another folder with
different output options?
and then the autorun will work?

I found a small utility to make it open an html file first from the CD and
it hasn't worked for me so far.
Do you think I need to specify the programs to open with?

auto.inf file:
[AUTORUN]
open=autohtml.exe /s

showhtml.ini:
[Display]
htmlfile=index.html

instructions:
Autohtml needs four things to make it work :
AUTORUN.INF. Obviously, without this, nothing's going to happen. It should
look something like this :

[AUTORUN]
open=autohtml.exe
icon=<your icon name here>

AUTOHTML.EXE. This is the actual executable. If you don't want to see the
small WISE splash screen, run it with the /s option. This executable, when
run, looks for...
SHOWHTML.INI. This should be in the same directory as your AUTOHTML.EXE -
normally, that would be the root directory, but of course it needn't be.
SHOWHTML.INI is about as simple as they come :
[Display]
htmlfile=myHTML.htm
On startup, AUTOHTML.EXE simply searches for SHOWHTML.INI and runs what's
there. It assumes, by the way, that the HTML file specified is in the
directory of, or a subdirectory of, SHOWHTML.INI.

Your HTML file. Of course!

That's about all there is to it! The source is available for download.

Stefan -
Drilling down your link you can get to the instructions for the auto run file etc.

[autorun]
open=start index.htm

doesn't work for me. I get a brief flicker of the CD icon, and then nada. The link below
the autorun instructions for additional info takes you to a page where none of the links
work. The CD (root) only has those two files on it.
Curious.....

I can not get my CD to automatically display my index.htm file by using
autorun.inf [autorun] open=start index.htm. Where can I find out how to use
these other files mentioned in this thread: autohtml.exe and showhtml.ini?
And why doesn't autorun.inf work by itself?
Thanks,
Clive
