I need a piece of code written and I can't find anyone who can do it.

I want to run local exe files on my local machine from inside a local hosted html page from my web browser ( FireFox )

I want to do this without nanny os windows asking me 3 or 4 times if I am really sure I want to do something on my machine.

Reason for this?

Simple. I can create some wonderful graphical web pages that would be perfect as a launch pad for my programs. I could reclaim the desktop space I have devoted to docks and do all my program switching from inside my web browser.

I'm pretty sure this can be done but people are so scared of teaching this to people that no one will tell me? So will any of you give it a spin?

Dude if the question is so stupid then why can't anyone answer it? As for being spoon-fed, I was hacking X-25 when you were messing your nappies. Ever created a program with punch cards bubba? I have and it ain't fun but it was all we had when I first started.

I notice you didn't answer my question so I hate to have to say this, but unless you can provide an answer that consists of a piece of code then don't bother replying to my message. One newbie has already made himself look like a fool and I'll let the rest speak for itself.

I'm not quite sure what you want to do. So you want to run exe files in the web browser?

I'm not sure if you can do this because it could cause security issues running exe's in a web page although it could be possible with IE :D

Ok seriously what's your problem, everybody starts off not knowing anything. I knew nothing when I started. You don't have to insult all the new users. Are you going to help him with his question or just come on and insult the user? geez.

Yea my day was Cobol and Fortran. My html skills are not as good. I've been searching for a piece of code that works around the nanny protections that windows IE has put in place to keep the average pc user from getting themselves hacked. The reason I say scared is because several people on several boards have said they won't teach me this because of its potential for abuse. Heck if I want hacker code I would not be here. Plenty of places for that

.

I'm thinking about abandoning windows all together because it insist on making my security decisions for me. lol

Knowing nothing? If you ask him he knows quite a bit, just read his post, lulz.

I didn't say he knew anything but the point is, you don't need to insult people when they ask for help.

I'm not really sure how you would do this. If you just want to do this on your computer, couldn't you link to the .exe?

<a href="path-to-.exe/example.exe

and then click run and the program would start?

Short answer: web browsers do NOT run .exe files, they download them and ask the system to launch them. At that point, it is the operating system that takes over, with all the related security concerns.

I didn't think it was possible, even if you linked to the image, the OS would run the program but if you want to make your desktop less crowded, I suppose you could make an HTML page with links to the shortcuts which would clear up your desktop some. :D
