opening a certain web page?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jul 08, 2004 5:33 pm

At the moment I'm trying to create a macro that is a desktop icon - that will open up slim browser and open a certain web page.

So far I've got it to open Slim browser fine, but can't get it to open up the desired page after clicking on the desktop icon? Keeps on just opening up my homepage.

For instance would the code be if I wanted to open up http://www.mjtnet.com after opening up slimbrowser?

Probably very simple I know, but can't work it out

I am not familiar with SlimBrowser, but this will probably work:

Check SlimBrowser documentation for command line parameters and switches.. Modify the command line in the icon per instructions for SlimBrowser.

SlimBrowser Help

Command File

You can define a series of commands in a command file (*.sbcm file). You can run/open the command file from Windows Explorer, Desktop, Links Bar, Utilities Bar, Favorites Bar, etc. Running the command file will execute the commands listed in the file one after another.

The command file contains one command in each line. A command can be any URL (local or remote) or any built-in command supported by $ProductName.

The content of an example command file:

http://www.google.com
OpenGroup ExampleGroup
AutoLogin [email protected]
c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe

This command file will open google, open the group named ExampleGroup, automatically log into a yahoo email account and then open notepad.

So you'll be able to create such a file and link it to a desktop shortcut. In this case it seems not necessary to use Macro Scheduler, as SlimBrowser already offers all you need.

BTW: SB seems to be an usefull app
