Thx Schatzy. The addition of file:/// was already on my firefox fixlist but I didn't knew that different versions of IE cope differently with it so thats gooed to know. Although the script is a .hta application it is not running in an Internet Explorer process and hence I cannot detect which version of IE is installed (besides some not so nice workarounds) to automatically determine if 'file:///' can be used or not. The reason why Microsoft decided to use a seperate 'mshta' interpreter was that under the security context of IE, a script isn't allowed anything to do directly on the system. A .hta is always allowed running code to do anything that is allowed in the current user context. Do you know if the version prior to IE7 (is that 6.0.5 or is there something in between?) does cope with the file:/// prefix? If that is so I don't thing many would have a problem. Another option would be to create an option for various IE versions (either through the GUI or by setting a variable value in the script).
