Weasel Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Here's a problem maybe someone can help me with: I want to run a command that opens IE.exe, and I was wondering if there was a switch that I could use to take me to a certain URL. For example "c:program filesinternet explorerie.exe -xyz www.neowin.net" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasel Posted May 13, 2002 Author Share Posted May 13, 2002 thanks a million hurting, I didn't even thing of using explorer.exe instead of IEXPLORER. BTW if you have to ask, I am programming my Matrox Orbital LCD display to go to slashdot, cnn, geeknews etc when I push one of the keypad buttons when the screen is scrolling the headlines from the RSS file. For some reason its only programmed to run exe applications so thats why I couldnt use shortcuts :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 hmmm. Perhaps set your homepage as bleh.net But if you want many, just copy a shortcut and add a parameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
