how do i open an IE link from c++
Author
I need to oppen an Internet Explorer link from my c++ windows console application.
I used to do it under TC using exec() or execl() func.
What is the function and how should i use it to open an IE link ?
Thanks.
EDIT: if you saw my other post ignore it, this code will work ...
system ("c:\\progra~1\\intern~1\\iexplore \"www.google.ca\"");
just goes to google for example.

Is there a way to do this in firefox?
yes, try the same code but with the path to the firefox executable. there should be another way in which to do this as well that makes use of whatever browser the user has set as default.

This is insanely cool! How do you make it so it opens in a new window (and not steal my old one)?
