| 38390 | 2002-03-09 04:25:00 | I'm trying to write a page that will be set as a Home Page to run off the local disk offline. What I want are links that will launch programs such as Wordpad. I write <a href='file:///C:/Program Files/Accessories/WORDPAD.EXE'>WORDPAD</a> but when I click on the WORDPAD link it launches a blank page with an Image icon top left, with the link pointing to Wordpad in the address bar. When I click on 'Go', Wordpad launches Ok. Can anyone help me with the code to launch directly from the link? Thanks in anticipation John B |

If it's going to work offline why not create shortcuts with them inside a folder. Probably not the purpose right? You can link the homepage to the folder and run the shortcuts in side of them. |
