To launch desktop programs from JustUrls buttons, simply enter the program
executable name instead of the URL in the "Add new URL" dialog
box.
As these executable names are not
always obvious, a decoder table below lists a some popular desktop
programs and the executable name that must be entered in
the "Enter new URL" section of the "Add new URL" dialog box.
For example, Outlook Express
has the executable name msimn.exe
which, being an abbreviation for MicroSoft Internet
Mail and News, is not easily guessed!
Note: For some programs,
not on the system "path", you need to enter the actual location
of the application.
Both the Executable Name and Actual Location are available by right
clicking your Windows start menu item - or desktop Icon and
selecting "Properties".
The best way to be sure you have the correct program name is to:
- Right click your Windows
start menu item - or desktop Icon.
- Select properties.
- Copy the line showing the
Target: into the clipboard.
- Paste this text into the
"Enter new URL" section of the "Add new /
Edit URL" dialog box / Right Click Favorite etc. in JustUrls setup.
