Hi all,
I would like to load a signed Java Applet in a web page, and have that Applet launch a .exe program installed on the user's hard drive.
All I want to know is: Is this possible?
Thanks :(happy):

Bump :)
Have you tried it? What happened?
No, I haven't done Java programming for some years. My company wants to change it's main desktop software product to a web interface. This is all good, except that our desktop product has to launch 3rd party applications and read files from the local hard drive (to interface with medical equipment).Quote:
