Mrs Klein,

In fact, it is very easy to solve this problem.
1) Enter at Explorer.
2) Look for your CD start program (BAT, EXE or COM) and right click it
3) Choose Properties
4) Choose the Program card option
5) Click on Advanced button (My win 95 version is Portuguese, therefore I am
not sure about "Advanced"
button. Seek for word which sounds like that...)
6) Now, you must put a new AUTOEXEC.BAT and new CONFIG.SYS specially for
this CD. You are supposed
to do that about 50 times... (well, solutions are not used to be 100%,
aren't they?)
7) In the next time, when I click this icon, the win 95 take care of the
problem.
