Simple question - linking to an application

Post by Nunners »

Sorry folks, this is really simple....
I've got a website, that I want to open an application that's installed on the PC that's viewing the pages...

How do I do it without always getting the Open/Save prompt?

Cheers
Nunners

PS: It's an .exe file

If you are sending the .exe, then it should, pretty much, always show the open/save dialog box. If the .exe is already installed, the only way to call it is for it to register a protocol and/or a mime-type handler.
