I recently purchased business card sized CDs which I've burnt a
self-developed PowerPoint presentation to.  Additionally, it has links to my
resume and a press release as well as a couple of sound files.  Everything
works fine, whether on my harddrive or the CD, I simply want to know how to
set the PowerPoint file to start-up automatically upon inserting the disc to
a computer (for ease of use of a potential employer).  Is there a minor auto
execute file or a function on PowerPoint?

Have you tried, "Package to CD"?  It takes care of that for you.

You've peaked my curiousity, but can you elaborate?  Is "Package to CD" an
option built into Microsoft PowerPoint or some separate application (and if
so, how do I obtain it)?  I have found a free auto run software but it has an
intro screen serving the marketing purposes of the originator.

It's part of PowerPoint 2003 but not earlier versions.
