Correct. Many years ago (circa 1999) I created a CD using PowerPoint
Viewer 95 to distribute to our veteran's group.  I purposely set it up
so that whoever used it didn't have to have PowerPoint on their PC to
view the slide show. I still have the CD's, still have the original
files, and it still runs just fine on Windows.

Here is the contents of that autorun.inf file:

[autorun]
OPEN=PPVIEW32.EXE  \present\present.lst
ICON=PPVIEW32.EXE,0

Thanks for jogging my memory.
