Starting default browser in vb 6.0

[Suad Candir]

Hii,

I was searching for an answer to my question "how to start default browser
in VB 6.0" and I found a mail from you. I was wondering whether you can help
me. I have a file e.g. file.html on a CD.I want that when someone puts the
CD in my html file should be opened.So I have to create an "autorun.inf"
file which starts only executable files.I decided to create an vb project
which starts the default browser. But I couldn't do it. Could you please
help me ?

Thank you in advance and sorry for taking your time.

Take Care

Look at shellexecute or getobject. either one will follow
the associated program settings when you pass it the
filename. Of couse if the user does not have a file
association then you will need to catch the error.

When ever you want to start something automatically, you have to write an
autoexec.bat that has everything the autoexec.bat has to have + your open
and play codes.
To automatically start the IE, you have to include the codes to start it in
the autoexec.bat. If you go back to the egg and find the codes of how to
automatically start programs when windows starts, you will see that the
codes to start the program are appended to the autoexec.bat. Copy those
codes into your autoexec.bat on your CD and it should work fine.
