Insert the code bellow in the <body> of your HTML file.
<SCRIPT Language="JScript">
It creates a function that can be launched from a link for example in your HTML code (in our case runcmd). This will run the File variable that must be set - i used cmd.exe in my example. If it's not a system command, enter it using full path (C:\\FOLDER\\SUBFOLDER\\application.exe for example).
<body onLoad="javascript:runcmd();"> Note that due to security riscks, usually a confirmation dialog will appear before running the application requested. The script works well on Internet Explorer. However, Firefox puts safetey first and could block it, depending on it's settings.

How can you run an application from a USB drive. i.e. if I have a .html page on a flash drive and I want to use this javascript within that webpage to launch a java program also stored on the USB flash drive. the FILE="cmd.exe"; looks on the computer, how do you change this to look in the USB drive where the .html page this javascript code is running from is stored? Thanks

What if you are trying to run something from c:Program Folders and the long filename is giving you issues. Adding quotations around the entire string does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

for long filename: use the property ShortPath once you the folder object, then use the shortpath with the file you trying to run. launch application from USB drive - not quite sure if this will help, but to get the path where the a script runs from, try the following: var sPath = WScript.ScriptFullName.split(":")[0] ":"; var sNew = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(sPath); hope this helps
