Run Internet Explorer IE Web Page from Action Script?

I’m looking to pop open a web page after someone reads a message from a task.

run “c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe http://www.website.com”

Works from a command line, but can’t from an action script… How might I do this?

It looks like I could distribute Iexplore.exe and include that in the command line… It opens the web page, but isn’t exactly what I’m looking for as I don’t want to update Iexplore.exe on people’s machines.

Thanks,

Rich

you need to use the runascurrentuser utility, otherwise you’re opening iexplore under the system account instead of the logged on user’s account.

Thanks, I’ll do that…

I should have remembered that, but I haven’t done much scripting recently in BigFix (Doing Powershell)…
