Re: Auto-launch manual CD

Hi all

Just a little tidbit that I don't recall seeing listed among all the links 
provided in this thread.

I create autorun files sometimes for Adobe Captivate files. It seems autorun 
may fail or have issues with starting something where the file name is 
longer than the old DOS 8.3 naming convention. So I regularly advise folks 
that are considering autorunning files to ensure that instead of something 
like:

My Favorite Movie In the Whole wonderful Wide World.EXE

You name the .EXE file following the DOS 8.3 standard. Perhaps something 
like:

MyFavMov.EXE

As long as autorunning CDs has not been disabled, I've never seen it fail 
using the shorter file names.

Cheers... Rick :)
