just wondering if there are any programs than can create a auto-run CD/DVD menu in PA.

I was thinking of creating something like the free computer magazine dvds have. i would prefer not to use a web browser for this but not against it.

I would be grateful to receive any feedback on it too.
Among the troubleshooting was things I did to get Windows Vista autorunning content again after VMWare disabled it.

Okay I know please here me out before you groan. Okay my thought is a lot of time when we're doing support it's convienient to send emails especially when helping people with NSIS. The problem with this though is most of us don't want to give our email's out lightly. So on IRC I talked with Ryan and he can give devs and gurus a blah@pa-support.cubegames.net email address that you could give out freely in IRC without getting personal.
