Alan - what if i am going to use this on multiple PCs where the letter of my Cd ROM
drive (on which mouse.com is located) is subject to change as a result of the difference
of the number of partitions on each PC HDD that i use the bootable CD on??
Any change in the autoexec.bat file as different from what you kindly suggested above
