Solve : Browser options form DOS??

Answer»

Browser options form DOS?
How do you make a browser, like IE6, do thins from the COMMAND line.?
Like set a bookmark. Or set wallpaper. Or run minimized. Annd then quit.
So far I this:
Code: [SELECT]start "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe\ " http://help9pm.com/jpg/red-nose0002.JPG
How can I get it to set the image as wallpaper? and Exit?
Any COMMENTS welcome. Just don't say anything bad about my grand baby.Quote from: Geek-9pm on September 25, 2009, 03:55:07 PM

Not sure, if there's a way to get IE to do this automatically.

Another way, might be to use a program to download the file... and then simply get that set as a background (probably possible via REG commands)Quote

I was hoping a small BATCH file would do it. I want to send it as an e-mai attachment to my family and friends.
I don't think they will go for a REG edit script!

well, the "REG" command can be used, is what I mean- would be unnoticable.

But, I'm not sure if the background would change right away or after the next REBOOT... or semi-randomly when another program decides to broadcast a "system change" message...I'm confused. Are we talking about background of a program or the wallpaper. Desktop background, which is also called wallpaper

Why not follow your own advice you gave to another member in the "Set Wallpaper." thread. (still on the first page in the MS-DOS section.
