Hi, how can I call from a batch an html file that is stored locally and have it come up with the default browser ? My plan is to create a CD that calls a batch file from the autorun.inf, or has the command to show the html file right in the autorun.inf itself. Any hint is highly appreciated.

I think it's: iexplore filename.html But I don't think there's any way of detecting the default browser. If the user doesn't have Internet Explorer, then it won't work.

Thank you for the hint. I tried it, but it does not work as IE looks for http://filename.html instead for filename.html. Anyone has another idea ?

IE will accept C:\My Documents\Another Packard Bell Site - Format & Restore.htm

I had the same problem. Here is the solution: "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.webpage.com make sure it is all on one line

use "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" d:\index.html
