I need to launch an exe file (Eg. Lotus Notes) out from the IE5 browser. I do not want to use Intralaunch and the NCOMPass plug-in. This option works but we would rather code our own so that we do not have to keep seeking support for these products every time there is a new version of the browser.

Launching Application from IE5

Do you mean you just want an executable to be launched, like a shortcut in Windows ???????? If you are trying to incorporate an executable inside of Windows like Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Word, does you might have to look into some Visual Basic programming.....
To just launch an existing executable, like using a windows shortcut, you can do the following html code.....
<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3;URL=file:\\c:\windows\command.com">
<body>
<a href="file:\\c:\windows\command.com">command.com</a>
</body>
This will automatically launch any application you want from the hard drive..... It will launch 3 seconds after the page loads. A dialog box will appear and simply click, run from this program from its current location....
good luck, if this was not what you meant just give me an email..........
