 |
|
Hi, I've got Firefox as my default browser so when I try to run:
| Code: | | Run, http://update.microsoft.com |
...it opens the page, alright, but MS requires Internet Explorer to update the system.
So in reading the forums here I tried:
| Code: | | Run, iexplore.exe, http://update.microsoft.com |
...but this just opens the default window in IE... then opens the update page in Firefox.
Grrr!
I have no doubt I am making a simple syntax error, but I'm staring at it and not seeing it.
Has anyone done this successfully? |

| search the forum for COM and navigate... i believe the COM library has a function that will tell IE to change to a specific page |

From the documentation I see:
| Code: | | Run, Notepad.exe, C:\My Documents, max |
So it would seem that:
| Code: |
Run, iexplore.exe, http://update.microsoft.com |
...would do the same thing.
That just shows you how wrong I can be.
I'll keep searching through the forums and hopefully enlightenment will shine upon me. |

That has a different purpose: set the working directory of Notepad to C:\My Documents. It does not pass any command-line arguments to Notepad. |
