Running Frontpg.exe on user computer? - ASP / Active Server Pages

bernadou

Is there a way to open FrontPage automatically on a user's computer using a
web page?

I wan't the user to be able to click a link or a button and have FrontPage
open to a specific URL. The FP permissions should take over from there.

I'm looking for the same kind of execution that you get when you type
"frontpg.exe http://mydomain.com" into the command prompt.

Thanks!
Bernie

No there isn't. The ability to automatically initiate an executable would
be a giant security risk, because if it were possible, that means that you
could load up a Web page one day and the page could start deleting your
files, formatting your hard drives, or whatever else.

I sort of assumed as much, but I thought I check. Thanks for reply.
