Running Command Line Argument from FrontPage 2000

[MarkG]

Here is what I am doing:
I am using Frontpage 2000 to create a simple set of
webpages that will be run from a CD. Not on a webserver.
This cd will be used to show family pictures whereby the
pictures will be on the CD too. The webpage will simply
hyperlink to them. Now, I have been asked to try to
create something whereby the user can select something
and it will launch Windows Explorer. Thus, all I need to do
is create a command line argument like
%SystemRoot%/explorer.exe and let it launch explorer were
the user can drill down whereevery they want. I can also add a parameter at
the end to tell explorer which folder to goto first. How can I do this
command line launch with FrontPage.

The problem is, that you can't launch a "system" object from within a web page / browser
environment

What are you trying to do that you need to open Windows Explorer??

Steve,

Thanks. That is what I had thought but just needing confirmation. It is not
what I wanted to do but a user wanted to do - force the webpage to launch
explorer to use the tree structure drill down/thumbnail displays to view/open
files.

Its has been resolved. I already talked them out of it.

thanks,
MarkG

After I wrote that and thought about it, try this from a web page.

<input type="file" size="20">

Place it in a page and preview in browser.
You can't get rid of the "input box though"

When you preview it enter C:\ in the input box or a known file path for that matter
