Create a shortcut

[bruce]

I want to create a shortcut on my desktop. The application will only
run with IE and my default browser is firefox. Is there anyway I can
force IE to load my app?

Thanks...

yes, create a launcher on your desktop to invoke ie and pass the name of the
app to ie that way, so if the application is at /path/app.html, the command
line would look like "ieX (where X is the version number) /path/app.html" and
you'd embed this in the launcher properties. It would be useful to know what
OS version oyu have if you want more precise instructions.

Thanks for the response. Yah, I would appreciate more help.

I'm using Vista on one system and XP-Pro on the other. I'd like put
this short cut on both systems..

Thanks again...

Type it exactly like this:

iexplore.exe http://the.link.to.server.net/path/file.html

(using the appropriate path and filename of course)

Thanks. I've got it to work.

iexplore.exe in is not in my classpath so I had to add the so I had to
add the absolute path to IE.

Now it's working..

Thanks again...
