You can open any document without worrying about the application by using the start command.
"start readme.html" will open readme.html using your default browser. "start readme.doc" will open readme.doc using Word or whatever app is using .doc Naturally, you can supply the full path to the file, "start c:\mydocu~1\readme.html" This works in Win9X/NT and later.

I want to setup a generic ID in a NT 4 domain, which has a login script that opens a html page. This ID will be logging into both NT 4 and Win 9x clients. Any ideas how to do this or any other ideas? Please ask if you need more information. Thanks in advance!
