 Launch Applications from Internet Explorer

I'm biluding an intranet app which allows users to luanch know applications
from Internet explorer. Using the client side VBScript CreateObject
applications such as word and excel can be launched by providing the progid
as the input parameter.

The question is how to launch apps like vb or interdev from a browser. It
can be assumed these apps are installed on the client machine and the
relevant security options are set.

I know users can simply run the app themselves and do file open but remember
this is not always so simple for some users...

Thanks

 Launch Applications from Internet Explorer
set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.run "somepgm.exe"

(assuming the normal Windows search will find it.  If not, you may have to assume or require a
standard installation path...)
