starting an app in a script?

Is it as easy to start another process/application within VBS as it is in VB, via the "createobject" method? or is there another way ya gotta do it?

Thanks,
Aaj

AFAIK, only MS can do that...The only time I've seen a program start on my computer due to the actions on a web page was at hotmail.com, which launched MSN Messenger. Why on earth would you want to do that, anyway?

You can use VBS to create objects... either server side or client side, using the CreateObject function. I believe JS has some object oriented features too, but I don't think you can create COM objects. You definitely can't start apps with JS, although I think it is possible via VBS and a Windows Scripting Host object, although be default most browsers have disabled this option - it's a bit of a security risk really...

All it takes is a client-side DLL and a few lines of script. The Zone does it as well as the already mentioned MSN Messenger.
