Launching programs from web page

[wireant]

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to "link" to a program from a web page. What I want to do is have a way to click on a link or button and open a program like Photoshop. This would only be on my computer and wouldn't be for the web. Thanks.

This might work, not sure. You making an active webpage? :D

Hey, thanks I'll try it out.
Teay, I'm trying to make a interactive desktop with a dock for tools and things. Basically just an experiment and if it works I might come up with a cool design and use it.

Just as Tech1 said. Driveletter:/path/.exe To make it really easy, just copy the location from the shortcut on the start menu.

Yeah- got it to work fine and even found out the ways to get to my computer and network places. I started working on the project and it is coming out good. I might show a screen cap when I'm done.
