"Web" help needed
I'm working on a project for a colleague. She wanted to produce a procedure manual that was interactive - if you click on a link in the document, it would open another document. It's fairly easy to do if you know your links will always be in the same directories, but that is not the case with this manual. I've received CDs before that are set up to work this way, and all the info/links are on the CD and work nicely together. I figured I could reproduce this type of interaction by creating a web page and then storing it on a CD. That seems to have worked well except for one thing, and this is where I need help.
The initial starting or "home" page is contained within the web's folder, so when you insert the CD, you have to open the one folder and click on the correct page to get started. The page is buried in a long list. I'd like to find a way to have this page always load when you insert the CD into the drive, without having to go look for it much. I thought maybe a simple run.exe type file would point to the page to get us started, but I have absolutely no idea if that's the right thing to do, nor do I actually know how to create the file.
In a perfect world, when the CD is installed, the browser would show two items, the web folder, and the "click here to start" file. Can someone help me? Bueller?
