[WEB4LIB] Launching Office Apps and Html Desktops

[Karen C. Ventura]

I might be able to help with your first question...

I don't know which web browser you are running, but if you are interested -
Public Web Browser has a ShellBar, which can be enabled.  The ShellBar is a
special toolbar in which you can put buttons to launch applications.  In
this case, your Office applications could be launched directly from buttons
in your web browser - Public Web Browser.  For more info on Public Web
Browser, go to:

Feel free to contact me if you have further questions about this!

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Launching Office Apps and Html Desktops


We are using html pages as desktops on our public workstations and need some
input on two related problems.
1.  We launch office apps from links on the desktop. Without compromising
security, is there any way to eliminate the download/run prompt for
Microsoft Office executables but retain it for other executables?
2.On Windows 98 machines, when launching executables from an html link on
the desktop, has anyone encountered the following message?
"Publisher cannot be determined..."
"Authenticode signature not found"
