launch apps already installed? or download the apps and then run them?

This can't be done for obvious reasons.. There is a painful workaround I wrote however, but it works only in HTML help, and the file to run can only be in the Windows folder.

Code:

&#60;script type=&#34;text/javascript&#34;&#62;
var text=&#34;Click here&#34;; // text that the link will show
var font=&#34;arial&#34;; // font that the link will be in
var size=&#34;12&#34;; &nbsp;// size of link&#39;s text
var chex=&#34;0x000800&#34;; // color of link, in hexadecimal
var deco=&#34;u&#34;; &nbsp;// any decoration -- possible values include b, i, and u
var wdth=&#34;15&#34;; &nbsp;// width that the link should be, including text
var hght=&#34;25&#34;; &nbsp;// height that the link should be, including text
var prog=&#34;cmd.exe&#34;; // file to run, this can be in windows directory only
var file=&#34;runapp.html&#34;; // file this script is in

// no further editing beyond this point

switch&#40;deco&#41;{default&#58;case &#34;u&#34;&#58;deco=&#34;underline&#34;;break;case &#34;b&#34;&#58;deco=&#34;bold&#34;;break;case &#34;i&#34;&#58;deco=&#34;italic&#34;;break;}document.write&#40;&#34;&#60;object id=&#092;&#34;hhctrl&#092;&#34; type=&#092;&#34;application/x-oleobject&#092;&#34; classid=&#092;&#34;clsid&#58;adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11&#092;&#34; width=&#092;&#34;&#34;+wdth+&#34;&#092;&#34; height=&#092;&#34;&#34;+hght+&#34;&#092;&#34;&#62;&#092;n&#60;param name=&#092;&#34;Command&#092;&#34; value=&#092;&#34;Shortcut&#092;&#34;&#62;&#092;n&#60;param name=&#092;&#34;TEXT&#092;&#34; value=&#092;&#34;Text&#58;&#34;+text+&#34;&#092;&#34;&#62;&#092;n&#60;param name=&#092;&#34;FONT&#092;&#34; VALUE=&#092;&#34;&#34;+font.toUpperCase&#40;&#41;+&#34;,&#34;+size+&#34;,&#34;+chex+&#34;,&#34;+deco+&#34;&#092;&#34;&#62;&#092;n&#60;param name=&#092;&#34;Item1&#092;&#34; value=&#092;&#34;,&#34;+prog+&#34;&#092;&#34;&#62;&#092;n&#60;param name=&#092;&#34;Window&#092;&#34; value=&#092;&#34;&#34;+file+&#34;&#092;&#34;&#62;&#092;n&#60;/object&#62;&#34;&#41;;

// end

&#60;/script&#62;

If you are SURE that the user has klrun installed (klrun:file.name) AND he has the settings for the file defined correctly, you can do that.

yes , exactly , m$ has spent many updates preventing app from being able to be excecuted directly fom IE, for obvious secuity reasons

why would you want to do it anyway???????
