Both programs, WISCO CD Menu Builder and CDMenu (for your projects) also understand how to use some programs installed by Windows. Both programs understand how to find Window's special folders. Special folders include the System Folder {sysDir}, Program Folder {progDir}, and Windows Folder {winDir}. Using {path} allows the CDMenu program to find the program on the end-user's computer, provided the program is located in the end-user's path. You can also start programs located in the users Windows, System, and Program Files folder, and load your file as a parameter. Longer sound and video files can use a command to start a player program with the sound or video file as the parameter. Examples: <A HREF="cmdExec|{progDir}Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe|myprog\sample.mpg||This link will start media player playing the sample.mpg file on the CD">Start Media Player.</A> This program was not included in Windows 98. It was included in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. <A HREF="cmdExec|{progDir}Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe|myprog\sample.mpg||This link will start media player even with Windows XP">Start Old Media Player Version 6.4.</A> <A HREF="cmdExec|{winDir}Notepad.exe|||This button should start notepad">Start Notepad</A> <A HREF="cmdExec|{winDir}Notepad.exe|mynotes.txt||This button should open a text file">Open a file with Notepad.</A>
Sometimes, Microsoft changes the location of a program with different operating systems. For example the Calculator program, calc.exe, is located in the system folder of Windows XP, but located in the windows folder in Windows 98. <A HREF="cmdExec|{path}Calc.exe|||This button should start Windows Calculator">Start Windows Calculator</A>
