miku 0 Posted June 9, 2001 Hi Guys, I want to design a desktop using HTML so that I can run applications from the desktop and hide taskbar and start Menu. I will remove all icons from desktop and stuff. How can I link images to Application such as Internet Explorer, My Computer. ARC Share this post Link to post
Busby 0 Posted June 9, 2001 Uhhhhhh to run applications in the desktop it'll be faster and easier to do it using shortcuts. Share this post Link to post

Xiven 0 Posted June 10, 2001 EG. <a href="file:///C:/winnt/explorer.exe">Explorer</a> Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted June 10, 2001 I know that. but when I click the link, Internet Explorer bring up the download dialog box and asks me, if I want to download or open. I want to avoid that. If you go in Help, you will see Microsoft have given links to My Computer, Paint and Control Panel and they open the way they should, but I do not understand how they have linked.

Xiven 0 Posted June 10, 2001 Well if in doubt, copy someone else. View the source of said help file to see how they do it. Try this one: <A ID="shortcut" HREF="EXEC=ExploreWClass,explorer.scf,, CHM=ntshared.chm FILE=alt_url_windows_component.htm">Windows Explorer</A> Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted June 17, 2001 I tried, but do not know how to insert the code. Can you please make an HTML file which I can download. Thanks Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted June 18, 2001 You might want to try www.devguru.com or some other sites and learn HTML a bit further. You seem to have a bit further to go in basic development before trying to develop a desktop interface. Share this post Link to post
