Hey all,
Perhaps this is simple to do, or maybe it is impossible...I have no idea so I will ask the brain trust :)
I would like to create a link on my OCD start page that will open another program on my C: drive (namely, Treepad, if anyone knows what that is and if it matters.) It is a simple text program on which I have complied lists of things I would like to be able to reference through OCD. So basically...how would one, if one could, create this link to another locally stored program? Thanks.

I am changing one of the web links that was preloaded to a link to my machine in the form of C:\FILE\FILE\FILE.EXE, and whenI click it it reports that 'file///C:/ etc.' cannot be found. However, as I change the format of my link and save, the info does not seem to be updating. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

Windows security is your enemy here - it won't allow to simply launch an application from HTML code.

You can insert link to executable file:

<a href="c:\windows\notepad.exe">Click to run Notepad</a>

...but it will ask you if you want to run the application every time you click on it. Probably not what you want.
