Hi!
This is a bit offtopic.
I am trying to create an autorun.inf file for my CD
I can create and execute properly when i am creating it for the file kept on
the root.
but when i point it to a file in the subfolder it gives me an error.
How can I achieve the following 2 scenarios.
1) I want to execute the file kept at
abc\def\a.html
on my cd
2) I want to execute the file kept at
a b c\d e f\a.html (Note the spaces)
on my cd

Any suggestions or workarounds wiil be deeply appreciated

Regards,
Abhishek

Keep the file structure on your CD the same as your HD. Remove the spaces.

Not a problem. Care to share how you did it? Just in case someone else has the
same problem.

... by putting quotes around the string with spaces?

2) I want to execute the file kept at

Basically both were acheived by the same way.
I am not sure about reason or correctness of this , but the solution i am
listing worked perfectly for me
if i had to run an exe file
abc\def\a.exe
a b c\d e f\a.exe (Note the spaces)
both these work perfectly.
Its only when i am using the startup program as any other than exe that i
need to specify the program in which it will execute
hence the corrrect parammeter becomes as
open=explorer \abc\def\a.html
open=explorer \a b c\d e f\a.html (Note the spaces)
and bingo it works perfectly
