About the Companion CD-ROM

The CD-ROM included with this book contains the following items:

Using the Companion CD-ROM

The StartCD program provides a graphical interface to the content on the CD ROM. If you have AutoRun enabled, this program will open by default when you insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. To use the companion CD, insert it into your CD-ROM drive. If AutoRun is not enabled on your computer, run StartCD.exe in the root of the CD to display the Start menu. The menu provides access to all the resources on the CD, including links for installing the software you will need to view the files contained on the CD and to access the Microsoft Press product support Web site.

Sample Files

ACT test scripts for the test runs discussed in the book are included on the CD ROM in the Sample Files folder. To copy all the sample files to your hard disk, run Setup.exe in the Setup folder and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The samples require about 5 MB of hard disk space. To uninstall the sample files, open the Control Panel, choose Add or Remove Programs, and make the appropriate selection.
