In PPT, how to make inserted movie path relative, not absolute?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

SOS. I'm creating a PPt for a client and am embedding movies. The
movies are in a folder at the same level as the PPT file itself. When
I pass the PPT and movies to my client via CD, PPT tries to acces the
movies via the absolute original path!!!!!!!!, not a relative one.
Therefore, it's trying to find my drive name on my client's computer,
and of course fails. How to I set a relative path, not an absolute
path when embedding movies? I've tried this on Mac Office 2004 and PC
PPT on XP.

Any help gratefully received.
