Using autorun.inf file on CD creation

[DebH]

I am trying to put a powerpoint presentation on a CD & have the presentation
open when the CD in inserted into the drive. I was told I need to create an
autorun.inf file. I have done that but when I copy that file & the powerpoint
presentation onto the CD & then run the CD nothing is happening.

I have the autorun.inf file created in notepad & it looks like this:
[autorun]
open=game.ppt
The powerpoint file name it of course game with the .ppt extension.

I have also tried it with the autorun.inf file looking like:
[autorun]
open=game.pps
This is when I saved the PP as a slideshow.

Any help on what I need to do to get this to work would sure be appreciated.

The autorun.inf file must be used to open an executable file, like the Viewer.
