Published Zip Contains files I don't recognize

I currently Import Zip files to our small Content Management System. This zip files automatically start the *.swf in the Zip file. I don't have an LMS. When I publish a zip file, the contents of the zip include a *.htm, *.swf and *.js. These play fine from our CMS. I have some zip files that inclue the following contents *.htm, *.swf, *.js, in addition they also have a breeze-manifest.xml and a BDMetadata.xml. When our learners play this *.swf file it locks after the first slide. I'm sure it lock because those files are looking for an LMS system that I don't have. I can't figure out what options or settings need to be changed when published to stop the creation of these files. I have tried to just delete these from the zip file but that still doesn't work. Please help me....

Thanks,

    Deleting the files results in the program still locking up?
    Either way, the Breeze one seems easy (and makes me suspect you didn't
    look too hard, unless maybe this has changed in Captivate 2):
    Publish > Preferences > uncheck 'Include Breeze Metadata'

    For the second, BDMetadata, I dunno - perhaps it's related to the same
    thing? Or maybe it's a result of the '508 compliance' option in the same
    preference area?

    Check those preferences to see if those help resolve the issues...

    Though this question is already marked as answered, still I would like to mention here, that both breeze-manifest.xml and the BDMetadata.xml are related to 'Breeze' now known as Adobe Connect Enterprise.

    Thank you so much. I did look in the preferences but I was blind to this. It is like looking in the grocery store for something and it is right under your nose.

    I removed the check mark from Publish Adobe Connect Enterprise metadata and I removed the check mark from 508 compliance and those files were then removed from the published zip.

    When I originally created this project, I did have some Quiz questions. These were only created to keep the learner engaged in the learning, not to capture are scoring results. Captivate must automatically put a check mark in those fields when you use the Quiz Manager, because these are not fields I would have checked on my own. Over the creation life of the project, the quiz questions were removed and those options remained checked.

    Well anyway, thanks again for your assistance. I really appreciate it.
