Ok, here's the deal. I've got a CD I'm sending out to a bunch of potential employers. They will be using both mac and PC's. What I want the employer to see when they open my CD is just one thing-something that says "click here" and forwards them to an index.html file inside a subfolder on the CD. This is important because I want the employer to see only one icon when they open the CD. I could make everything hidden, but that attribute doesn't carry over to OS X on the mac platform. Neither does a windows shortcut. So I thought the easiest way might be to make a simple HMTL page in dreamweaver named "CLICK ME.html" that would forward them to the index.html file inside the subfolder on the CD. However, I dont want the employers to have to click once to open that and once again to be linked to the index.html file; I want them to automatically be forwarded to the index.html page when they click on the CLICKME.html file. How do I do this?

Sound confusing? :p Please help if you can, need assistance ASAP.

you can use a refresh meta tag to auto redirect them to the proper file...something like this:

<META http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx">

This would redirect trafic after 5 seconds to location xx.xxx.xx.xxx
