Download file to computer ?

[phatzilla]

What if i wanted to write a script, that when executed would download a file (E.G www.xxxx.com/xxxx.jpg) and automatically run that file. I also want the download to be 'silent' so that there isnt like a progress bar of said file being downloaded.

How is it possible for me to do this?

Also : What's the command for hiding a process from being displayed in task manager?

Thanks in advance.

When you say "hide" do you mean under the Applications tab, because I think it's impossible to hide it under the Processes tab.

[phatzilla]

No i meant under the processes tab.

Are you sure its impossible? Heck, even a game that i play manages to somehow hide itself from the processes tab (i guess to prevent hacking or something)..

Okay, like i know how to bring up a browser hidden, but you cant really download any files like that, you can only navigate to an adress and not see the window. Does anyone know how to do what i want to do? I dont care if its like a strangely coded method, i just need it to work.

Have you checked any of the "Inet" functions in the help file?

Thanks smoke, but this is strange. I seem to have _Inetgetsource,_Inetgetmail,_InetgetSmtpmail but i dont have INETGET or something liek that...
