Here is my situation. The cds to my kid's games were getting really beat up, so I decided that I would make iso images of all of them and run them off of the hard drive using daemon tools. I then proceeded to write .cmd scripts to use to load the games with which would 1. unmount any images mounted on virtual device 0; 2. mount the appropriate iso; 3. call the .exe for the game in question.
This is all seemed simple enough, and everything works without a hitch when I run my script in my account, which is the only administrator on the machine (it is XP, SP0). However, when I run the scripts from the kids accounts, the virtual device autostarts and comes up the the game installer. If I manually mount the iso, and run the .exe in question everything works.
So my question is this: is there way to not automatically run the installer when the image is mounted? My kids are 3 + 4, so having these scripts is a must, and win98 is no longer an option (I tried this, and the kids spend so much time randamly clicking that the machine would eventually die or end up with a fatal error b/c they had inadvertanly deleted some important file)
Anyone have any advice?
