Hi, I've got a website that is basically just a navigation site for people
to find important things on our file server.

Our corporate office has given us a reference manual that is a bunch of
PowerPoint presentations channelled through a little .exe file (basically a
menu system to choose which part of the reference manual to watch).

I saved the entire presentation structure onto our file server, and I can
run the .exe file and watch any of the presentations.  I created a link from
our navigation intranet site to the .exe file, and can run the .exe file
from that hyperlink (with the "File Download - open or save" and "Security
Warning - Do you want to install and run .exe" popups).

However, once I get into the navigation menu of the exe file that leads me
around the various PowerPoint presentations, the .exe file won't open any of
the presentations.

I'm thinking (but I'm guessing here, because I'm quite the rookie) that
because I  "downloaded" the .exe file (I'm assuming into an Explorer
temporary internet directory on my computer) even though I say "Open" (and
not "Save") in the download window, the .exe file cannot find any of the
supporting PowerPoint presentations because it's looking in the same path as
it's running from.

Is there any way for me to either
1) trick the exe file to looking into the path where I "downloaded" it from?
2) instead of "downloading" the .exe file, can I make InternetExplorer "run"
the file as if I double clicked on it in my Windows file Explorer window?

Thanks a bunch
