Finding default CD-Rom.......
Ok, I made a splash screen for my CD-ROM (Autorun.exe and Autorun.inf).
7 seconds after the splash screen a menu that i created opens up with
all the programs on the CD. For each program i made a button,
in that button i wrote:
Shell "G:\Adobe\Acrobat4readerde
(that was just an example)
So when i click on the button, it opens up the installion program for
that app on that cd, that is located in Drive G:\, on my computer.!
Now the problem is this: when i insert the cd into a different
computer, the menu with all the buttons doesn't work, because when i
created the button, the shell command refered to the exe that was on
drive G:\ (located on my pc). The people that i'm going to be giving
out the cd with my family photos to will have different cd-rom driver
letters and i won't know what there's is going to be
(cd-rom driver letter).
Question: How do i make the shell command read the setup.exe that is
located in the folder Adobe\Acrobat\ on the CD-ROM that my disc is in?
Or is there some other command that allows me to do that?

I will defenatly use it, but i also found a much easerier code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Shell Left(App.Path,1) _ & ":\whatever\Setup.exe"
End Sub
In your code where do i put in the path of the setup.exe?
Well thanks for the help danny!
