There is no reason why you couldn't take the sample code you posted a
few days ago and compile it into a program called ShellEx.Exe and then
SET BROWSER ShellEx.Exe
in your K95CUSTOM.INI file to get exactly the functionality that you
are looking for.
One of the benefits of the way that K95 currently works is that the
user can guarantee which application is going to be started. For
instance, on my system I keep both Internet Explorer and Netscape.
There are some sights that look better in one than in the other. With
K95, I can SET BROWSER which ever one I want to use depending upon
what I am doing. That is not the case if we relied exclusively on the
ShellExecute command.
We appreciate your notifying us of the existance of the command and
of explaining how it works. However, at least for the short term we
will continue to implement the Hot links the way that they are.
Especially given the easy method available for allowing any user to
call ShellExecute on systems that support it.
