Launching an executable from a website?

Question

We\'re developing a site that will only run on the intranet, and computers with access to this intranet will have this executable installed. We can\'t have any \"Would you

Answer 1

Try this JavaScript:

function executeCommands(inputparms)
{
// Instantiate the Shell object and invoke its execute method.

var oShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");

var commandtoRun = "c:\windows\Notepad.exe";

// Invoke the execute method. 
oShell.ShellExecute(commandtoRun, commandParms, "", "open", "1"); 
}

You will have to set the browser security settings accordingly, and this would work only in IE.
