We have a shared file server that runs an application. All users have the same drive letter mapped, etc. The application is as follows:
G:\applications\Program.exe I would like to place what amounts to a "shortcut" on my web page that allows all end users to run Program.exe from that link. My understanding is that CFEXECUTE runs a process ON THE SERVER and therefore is not appropriate for what I am trying to do. When I simply place an href link on my page, I get the security warning about the risks of opening executables, etc. I understand WHY that message appears, but is there a way to avoid that message? Also, when I follow the link from the cfm page, I get a FoxPro (the exe is a FoxPro application) that says "File Security.exe does not exist". But if I go to the command line or follow a shortcut that is placed on my desktop, I never get that error message. I have played around with writing batch files and putting them on the server, etc but to no avail. Finally, what are the chances that I can execute a process that places a shortcut on the end users desktop when they click a button on my website? Something like "Click here to add a shortcut to g:\applications\program.exe onto your desktop"...
