Default Adding a sound clip to run through presentation

I'm working on a cd presentation for work and have a sound clip (currently a
wav file) that I want to add to the entire presentation. The wav file is a
compilation of song blurbs that cut in on certain slides throughout the
presentation. I want to distribute this cd presentation to "prospects"
without them having to go through a great deal of steps to start the show. I
saved the presentation and the wav file on a cd but everytime that the cd is
put into the cd-rom drive, it automatically plays the wav file for the person
first and doesn't allow the powerpoint presentation file to come up on their
screen. Question is, how can i have this wav file playing throughout my
presentation (starting on slide #1) and when I burn the presentation to a cd,
not have the wav file play automatically via wmp or real player? Ultimately,
I want the "prospect" to put the cd into their cd-rom, having the
presentation start automatically in powerpoint or at least be prompted (via
windows explorer, etc) to click on the presentation file. Any help would be
GREATLY appreciated!

Look at:
Play sounds across multiple slides (A WAV runs through it)
