texastrees Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I created the autorun.inf file with [autorun]open=Lily 3.pteicon=Lily 3.pteas the body. This is not starting my presentation. What am I doing wrong?? I feel like such a fathead! I'm sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmanz Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 The file you should be wanting to run should be an EXE[autorun]open=name.exeYou should avoid using spaces in your file name.as this may cause problems.cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrees Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Okay, I took out the space and replaced the pte with exe. The error message says:"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access this item."Does this sound like a common error?

Guest Techman1 Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hello,Make sure you have the correct name in your open statement. As the example that Chuck gave you. Using your file name (and assuming that when you created your PTE executable you removed the "space") it would look like this:[autorun]open=Lily3.exeThe "Lily3.exe" file needs to be in the root of the CD along with your Autorun.inf file. The "icon=" portion really isn't required in the autorun file, so for now just leave it off.Just make sure your open= file name matches exactly to the executable ".exe" file that you've created and it should work fine.Please let us know if you get it going and don't be hard on yourself, everyone has to create their first autorun.inf file. Once you get it, you'll find that it is extremely easy as long as the names all match correctly.Good luck!Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 If you have trouble making the autorun file, maybe you must try Granot's very useful utility AutorunMaker.You can download it here . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
