Parameters harder to pass than a kidney stone!
|
|
|
| I am working with an application that will allow me to launch an
external app. I am trying to launch internet explorer and pass a
particular URL. I cannot change the default home page for all my
users' browsers so I need to be able to tell explorer where to go (I'd
like to really tell it where to go, but that is a different story!).
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas on how to pass this sort of
parameter?
Thanks,
Nick

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>AUTOMATIC FORWARD PAGE</TITLE>

<BODY text=#cccccc vLink=#ffffff aLink=#cc9900 link=#ffffff bgColor=#000000

It moves you to another page.
Maybe that helps

This is a big-time stab in the dark, but if you launch the URL instead of
the browser, would the URL open using the default browser?

See if this flies for you.
iexplore.exe "<name of the website>"
For example:
iexplore.exe "www.microsoft.com" will launch Internet Explorer to Microsoft's webpage. | |

| Very clever W.F. Perhaps you're a bit funnier on your medication.
Thanks anyways.
