I will like to give a client a presentation in Power Point 2000, burned in a CD but I want the client to see the presentation when insert the CD, in other words to auto run.
I know there are subroutines to do this but I don't know how to do them.

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks.

There is a PowerPoint viewer available from Microsoft that will run a Powerpoint presentation from a CD, but will only autorun if the user has Autorun enabled.

Also, you need on the CD a file called AUTORUN.INF telling the OS what to run when the CD is inserted (provided autorun is enabled, as mentioned). Search the MSN web site (or Google) for details of what can be in this .inf file, but a simple one can be but two lines:

[autorun]
