ActiveX *can* launch an exe. A Java applet can NOT. A Java
application CAN, but an application can't run in a browser -- only
applets run in browsers.
Not to be high & mighty or anything, but.... If you're looking to
launch an exe on a user's computer, then you're either looking at the
wrong strategy, OR you're looking at something that really shouldn't
be implemented in a web browser...
In any case, you could cook up a little ActiveX control in Visual
Basic in under an hour if you know VB....
