execute local programs through html page
If you are going to call me foolish, at least explain yourself.
If I write my own html code, have a line with a .gif so I can execute resident programs from one visual screen rather than through Start Menu....how is this a problem.
Kindly EXPLAIN.

The html tag with < img src ... > is normally benign and causes a fetch of the source.
To invoke an executable means you've done some good research on
what it happends when processing http get requests; (please don't report the how-to here!).
the issue is involves the server setup and how requests are constrained to the
webserver-root and how programs are found.
I'll not go any further on this topic for security reasons.
I too think this is a poor practice. If you don't like the Windows GUI, then
investigate other UI techniques, such as the command line, shell programming,
or rpc to X11.

fyi: .HTA files can be hijacked (when on a public website) and thus they are
frequently disabled. This is an old issue for IE browsers

local html launcher
Thanks jobeard and gervol for your replies. I will research this further.
I downloaded an application launcher, which is ok, but I'd like to be able to do as many inputs as possible, with several screens.
If I can do it by learning and writing, I'd rather than pay $ for the fully featured program.
