[Reason]

can somebody please explain to me how I can make a btach file in Windows XP that will open Internet Explorer and ZoneAlarm at the same time? I keep trying but my batch file doens't work.. thanks!

Why would you do that? You should have ZA running all the time, even if you're not using IE.

I wondered the same thing Torkus said but if you must...

Just put each program on a seperate line and make sure that any directory or file name that has spaces in it has a quote around it. For example:

C:\"Program Files"\"Zone Labs"\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe

Now, internet explorer is another story. I can't get that to work either. This does work though.. Add the line (with no quotes):

"Start about:blank" <----that's showing a space for me before the : but there isn't one.

This will open IE without opening the homepage.

To set your homepage, just type in the URL:

"Start www.techspot.com"

Hope that helps...

" "c:\program files\zone labs\zonealarm\zonealarm.exe" " will work just fine.

And the command to run IE would be "start iexplore <URL>"

Any more reasoning why you want ZA to only work when you are on the internet?

Maybe he is on dialup and needs ZA only when he starts IE and dials in?
