The GST Autoplay Easel, GST Autoflash and GST Autoflash Builder all use the Path and Programs to designate what will be launched when a menu selection is made.

The "Path and Programs" and "Parameters" are best taught by example. 

First some ground rules - in these examples, all the files on the CD are in the root folder of the CD - no other folders on the CD. Put all of the autorun files created by the menu program and your files directly at base level of the CD (root folder). This is recommended if you want to keep things simple. 

Also always leave the "Working Directory" blank. This is only for special cases, ask support for help if you think you need this.
