This post explains how you can replace the Net-Share script with one I call IE-Fix, that directly modifies the registry to tweak IE settings.Bill Claxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409920108169741584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13410179.post-81256391798703293662008-06-13T13:50:00.000+08:002008-06-13T13:50:00.000+08:00Bill,Thank you for the script.

In this case, a windows error window pops up and stays there until "OK" is clicked...then the remainder of the batch file runs.<BR/><BR/>I guess NET SHARE can't share without the network present, even if the share is only intended for the host machine.<BR/><BR/>Might there be a way around this issue? I don't know enough about batch file syntax to solve this.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>-VEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13410179.post-82669048750028197982007-08-12T00:03:00.000+08:002007-08-12T00:03:00.000+08:00Apologies for the late reply Luther.

At the end of the 'flashfix.bat' file, simply add the line 'start index.htm' (or whatever HTML page you wish to launch.<BR/><BR/>Start will launch the default browser based on the filename association. More info on use of the 'start' command may be found here (http://www.computerhope.com/starthlp.htm).Bill Claxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409920108169741584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13410179.post-71347966825640314092007-07-31T23:49:00.000+08:002007-07-31T23:49:00.000+08:00Thanks for taking the time to write out the instru...Thanks for taking the time to write out the instructions!<BR/><BR/>I get an error message, however:<BR/>"Error opening /f:flashfix.bat /r:min"<BR/><BR/>I tried changing the autorun.inf file to read just:<BR/>"open=shellexecute flashfix.bat" which does execute the script, but then how do you cause the content itself (in this case an .html page) automatically open?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Lutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855603613019033083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13410179.post-61603438957664066902007-07-31T21:23:00.000+08:002007-07-31T21:23:00.000+08:001.

Open another file and paste in the following:<BR/>[autorun]<BR/>icon=web_content\images\cd_silver.ico<BR/>label=Multimedia Presentation<BR/>shell\viewreadme\command=notepad \readme.txt <BR/>shell\viewreadme=&Read Description <BR/>open=shellexecute /f:flashfix.bat /r:min <BR/><BR/>3. Save that file as 'autorun.inf'. Note that the open command will be autorun when the CD is inserted. The files 'readme.txt' and 'cd_silver.ico' (or equivalent icon file) should be present. Otherwise remove those lines.<BR/><BR/>4. Shellexecute is shareware. Download 'shellexecute.exe' from the developer's website (yes, the site name is spelled with 2 o's): http://develooper.com/code/shellexecute/<BR/><BR/>5. Place the 'flashfix.bat', 'autorun.inf' and 'shellexecute.exe' files in the root directory of the folder where you CD-ROM content is. <BR/><BR/>6. The syntax of 'Shellexecute' is a bit odd. The command "shellexecute /f:flashfix.bat /r:min" tells it to run the batch file minimised. Run "shellexecute /?" to learn more about syntax for this utility.<BR/><BR/>7. In case you want both the network sharing and flashfix, chain the two batch files.<BR/><BR/>8. Burn a CD and test. Alternatively, use the 'subst' DOS command to create a virtual drive and test with that before burning.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Bill Claxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409920108169741584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13410179.post-45766940816770687682007-07-31T19:44:00.000+08:002007-07-31T19:44:00.000+08:00This is great - thank you so much - this is just w...This is great - thank you so much - this is just what I need!<BR/><BR/>Could you provide some brief instructions on actually implementing the script on a CD (it's the Flash one I'm after).<BR/><BR/>I owe you one!Lutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855603613019033083noreply@blogger.com
