  Auto-running a document instead of an EXE

A client turned me onto this. He was trying to launch a Word document with
AutoRun:

"You can only (based on what I tried and have read) start an executable
file with AutoRun, not load a specific document. But I did find someone who
had
developed  method of launching a specific ".html" file.  The URL is
http://www.avdf.com/oct98/art_ot005.html.

He uses an executable file and an ".ini" file to launch an ".html" document via
the default browser. On a hunch I  substituted the ".doc" in place of the
".html"
in the ".ini" file and it worked perfectly."

The URL above also has related details on AutoRun, including the Registry
entry for it, etc.
