Hi all,
This is a functionality whwich i want to achieve in IE6.0 using javascript.
How do i run/execute a .exe placed in c:\App folder of the client machine.
I found some code for Netscape which which uses something like Privilege class, but i need something for IE.
Also, i came across WHscript which is an ActiveX object.
I do not want to use Activex controls..
is there any other work around for this using pure javascript?

Please reply This is an SOS!!
thanx in advance

Only way is with Active-X controls, that is why Active-X is a big security issue.
