[DUG] [Off-Topic] Run EXE's from local HTML page<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've written an HTML web page to burn onto
CD's along with my software, and will AutoRun when inserted. The
page has some links to a few executables on the CD. But for the life
of me I can't get the executables to run when they are clicked. This works
fine from a website with the usual security warnings, but what is going on
here? Any ideas? A better method?</FONT></DIV>

you've set access for the WebServer user (presuming IIS? can't remember
sorry)</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
