Specifying publisher for Vista's autorun with HTML file

Hi,

In my autorun.inf file I use the entry below to launch a HTML menu. On
Vista, AutoPlay will show the option "Run index.html - Publisher not
specified".

[autorun]
open=index.html

The 'publisher not specified' makes sense since no publisher has been
specified for the HTML file. However, I was wondering if it is possible
to remove this message, or if it's possible to specify a publisher for
the HTML file.

When dealing with executables you can easily get rid of this message by
digitally signing the application. However, since signing is not
possible for HTML files I was wondering if there's an alternative when
dealing with HTML ?

Thanks,

Instead of using open try using shellexecute

[AUTORUN]
shellexecute=index.html

Thanks for the suggestion. But Shellexecute unfortunately also reports
'Publisher not specified'.
