Feeling very lazy today (how to launch an app from a browser?)

[Carl Uman]

It's Friday afternoon and I'm thinking of the weekend and I'm being lazy now. Can anyone save me some google time and tell me how I can launch an app on a machine via button on a browser? I'm using javascript and coldfusion.

Thanks
Carl

Never seen it done, wouldn't think it were possible.

I haven't tried this, but I would type the url direction for the application (e.x. Crograms\...) and then save that as a favorite. And if you use firefox, you can put the url in the quick launch bar

I think just lauching a new browers with the command line just might work.

something like the following in the browser address bar...
c:\junk\junk.txt

will launch notepad

Something so simple and front of my nose. Now to see if it works.

Thanks much
Carl
