Found at http://www.whirlywiry.com a 37k open style autorun. If the user
doesn't have the proper viewer for a file installed Shellexe attempts to run
the next. For example start with .pdf and if it isn't present then on to
html. It is suggested to end the string with a .txt type. Works on all
Windows platforms as an autorun format for burned Cd's.

I got those tree styled db files put together in an html format and burned
onto a cd. (keynotes or treedbnotes will transfer one file at a time into
html) and Shellexe allows for whatever the viewer has to view.
Karen's Powertoy PtAutorun http://www.karenware.com/ would do the same thing
but there was minimal configuration with Shellexe
Sample file from the readme.txt in Shellexe
[autorun]
open = shellexe.exe intro.avi intro.htm intro.txt (intro is the sample
name for a document)
The key to success was to have the index.html file in the CD root with the
Shellexe and that linked to any subfolders in the tree based document.
