You can't what you need is an .exe to launch the html file for you.

Do you have macromedia flash? If so you can whip up an exe to open it for you and then close itself so you are just left with the html file loaded in the browser.

If you don't I can make you one in a flash. (Pun intended)

Hi Mhtml

thanks for the sugesstion but I found a little utility called freeloader which is a .exe file.

simply write a autorun.inf to point to freeloader.exe and this will automatically opens index.htm.

So you simply include it in the root of the cd next to your index.htm and the autorun.inf

I have enclosed a copy below just in case someone else reads this and is looking for the same solution.

Thanks again for the help though.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
