Programs Menu - Access a Web Site?

#1

Post by LMSSC » Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:31 pm

Dear Michael,

Since many of our staff access a specific website, I was wondering if the A1 Programs Menu could be used to access specific websites like it does programs on your computer system.

Currently:

If I go to Configure System Defaults - Program Menu

I can add code that would allow me to access Internet Explorer from the A1 Program Menu...

1 NAME = Internet Explorer
1 PROGRAM = RUN /N C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

Now could I use it to BOTH: access Internet Explorer AND go to a specific website (like Google) at the same time?

If so, What additional code would I have to add?

Thanks!

After some trial and error I found this to work:

4 NAME = IE Movies
4 PROGRAM = RUN '/N C:\Progra~1\Intern~1\iexplore.exe www.imdb.com'

5 NAME = IE Yahoo
5 PROGRAM = RUN '/N C:\Progra~1\Intern~1\iexplore.exe www.yahoo.com'

6 NAME = IE Google
6 PROGRAM = RUN '/N C:\Progra~1\Intern~1\iexplore.exe www.google.com'

Dear Michael,

Worked like a charm! Thank you very much!

So here was the final code (Hotmail Example):

1 NAME = Hotmail
1 PROGRAM = RUN '/N C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE www.hotmail.com'

Which not only started IE but brought up the hotmail home page as well.

Thanks again!
