Can anyone help with a shortcut path ? PLEASE!!!

from Stardock Forums
Basically I am trying to set up my "shortcut" object to point to the d: drive or g:drive or whatever the cd rom drive is so it can find the menu.exe program. basically the autorun is a shortcut with a little splash screen type book opening and closing then when the user clicks it, it should run "menu.exe" the main thing i am trying in the location dialog box is " \menu.exe" where menu.exe is in the same root folder as the autorun.exe burned on the same disk. It seems like it should be a common thing and probably I could do it with mmb or a million other front end menu programs but i really like the transparency & animation with the desktop x shortcut. Is this hopeless ? I really have no clue WHAT should go in the location box.

TIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you using an install program or just instructing your users to drag the shortcut object from the CD/DVD to their desktop?

Actually scratch that. Why don't you set it up so on first run the menu creates the object and the link. Then you could give more control over setting the menu to auto run upon inserting the disc or saving options to disable auto run.

Only since I can't seem to set the hotspots or hidden object controllers on the left page i have been forced to make something like this an autorun, then replace the four or five links on the left page with "click this book to continue" then replace the animated shortcut with a "menu.exe" which is basically a front end jpg with an edge map and the links on the new jpg menu. I would love to be able to make this

fully functional but I've been trying to make it work for about a year off and on and am having no luck. ANYTHING you can suggest would be of great help.!!!

thanks.
