Basically I am trying to set up my "shortcut" object to point to the d: drive or g:drive or whatever the cd rom drive is so it can find the menu.exe program. basically the autorun is a shortcut with a little splash screen type book opening and closing then when the user clicks it, it should run "menu.exe" the main thing i am trying in the location dialog box is " \menu.exe" where menu.exe is in the same root folder as the autorun.exe burned on the same disk. It seems like it should be a common thing and probably I could do it with mmb or a million other front end menu programs but i really like the transparency & animation with the desktop x shortcut. Is this hopeless ? I really have no clue WHAT should go in the location box.
