Netscape problems: launching batch files and left mouse button

[Bert Coenen]

For the last couple of days I have been trying to figure out a way to launch 
batch-files (to start up local databases) from within netscape without using a 
helper application such as w3launch or weblaunch. By the way, I have come 
across another launch plug-in that I have never read about in this forum: 
webcd, it can be downloaded from the university of Utrecht in the Netherlands 
(http://www.library.uu.nl/ubuhome/database/gegeven.htm), of course you'd have 
to understand dutch to read this page and use this program.

But I digress, I have found that it's really easy to launch a batch file as 
long as you don't store it on the web server but on a regular network server 
(which is fine for me, people outside the LAN cannot use our databases 
anyway). The problem I'm having is this: with other types of files netscape 
asks whether you want to open or save just once (if you uncheck always ask 
...), but with batch files, it always asks the question (even if you uncheck 
...). Any suggestions on how to make netscape remember?

My guess is that most of you have come across this other problem that I've 
been having: the disabled left mouse button. From what I hear the culprit 
would be java-applets or javascripts on some pages. I cannot afford to switch 
off java or javascript (a solution suggested in some newsgroups), does anybody 
out there know of a way to re-enable the left mouse button (again in netscape, 
I have read some for IE)?
