Still no luck after playing with it further. To better explain... I am trying to create a "Click here to start application" button on my web site. The objective is to run the application at the following address:
g:\shared\applications\Programs\PC.exe Note that the G drive is a SHARED network drive and is NOT the users local machine, nor is it the web server. This application starts and runs fine from either a shortcut placed on the end users desktop or from the command line with the very parameters shown above. No flags, etc. I know I cannot accomplish this solely with server-side CF, but I figured JavaScript or VBScript or ActiveX or SOMETHING could be put into my CF page to make this happen! Barring this possibility, what can I use to create a shortcut on the end users desktop that will allow them to launch the application themselves? I have found tutorials that show how to add shortcuts for websites, but not for applications.
