    Changing default application

    Hi,

    How do I make sure a user opens my image in Internet Explorer?

    Thanks

    you can try a registry tweak.

    If you tell the application to run a registry check and make Internet explore the defualt browser.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
    "Check_Associations"="yes"


    If the check_association is yes, the computer uses IE, if no its uses another browser. This only works if the user is not viewing it in a browser already...and not many people like tweaks that change their settings. hopefully this may help though.

      Thanks for the reply.

      I wouldn't want to start messing about with user's settings.

      All I'm trying to do is open up a larger image when a smaller image is clicked on. The best way to view that image would be in IE. Just thought there may be a way in AMS to force that.

      Thanks for your help though.

        There is, use:

        Code:
        File.OpenURL("AutoPlay\\Images\\oh_christmas_tree_qx_me.jpg")
