bobheart Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 How would you open a url with what ever the users has for a web browser ? So if they use Mozilla the link would open the url in mozilla . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzetabi Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) ya I was trying that and gave errors . so I just made a bat file and ran that . lol <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Strange! Do you mean that $url = 'http:\\www.hiddensoft.com\forum' Run(@comspec & ' /c start ' & $url,'',@sw_hide) does not work? It is very strange. It should be foolproof in every Windows version. The difference beetween 98/XP kernels is that Start manages the " differently, but urls do not needs " so it should be the same.

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/sEPARATE | /SHARED] [/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL] [/WAIT] [command/program] [parameters] "title" Title to display in window title bar.Just an FYI... so a bit of the old if then dance might be a good idea:$url = 'http:\\www.hiddensoft.com\forum' If @OSTYPE = "WIN32_NT" Then Run(@ComSpec & ' /c start "title" ' & $url, '', @SW_HIDE) ElseIf @OSTYPE = "WIN32_WINDOWS" Then Run(@ComSpec & ' /c start ' & $url, '', @SW_HIDE) EndIf "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
