Title: How do we start a program from the content menu?
Post by: WizardHawk on October 28, 2005, 02:54:55 PM
If I run a forum for an online game site, how can I add an item to the content menu to actually launch the game from the forum? Such as C:\my game\mygame.exe

I would actually like to be able to launch a few different applications right from the forum.

Umm... what? You don't want to do that. very insecure. Webpages can't get access to the registry anyway, so they wouldn't know where to look.

If you really want to do something like that, I suggest linking to a file that will be opened by that program. Then it won't matter where they have installed it, and if they haven't installed it (or are running linux for example) nothing dangerous will have happened.
