I've got a CD Rom with some folders on, and a Word doc. The Word doc has hyperlinks to the files in the hidden folder.
This works fine, but I need people to copy the files onto their PC, and run from there. As the files are hidden, they're not copied, so the links don't work.
I could un-hide them, but I want to avoid the user going straight into the files themselves.

any ideas?

it'd be nice to have an autorun file which did the copying, but I wouldn't know how, and the destination path would vary

Bodgit

xcopy *.* <dest> /s/e/h (/s is sub-directory /e is includes empty sub-directories /h is copy hidden and system files too

trouble is end users (teachers!) need to be able to copy it across

Bodgit

create a batch file and copy the batch file on to the cd. then give them instructions to run the batch file.

Why would the destination path need to vary? just copy the files c:\training\*.* or whatever it is.

You could alway leave it all on cd and create a html menu file

Cant you just put everything in a folder and tell them to copy the folder?

Windows will ask if you want to include hidden files.. say yes??

that'd probably work, I could put an instruction file on for real numpties
