I writing a dialog with diffrent online virus scanners, how ever some of this scanners need Internet Explorer to work, but if you as a user have FireFox as default browser, then mirc will start FF instead, any way to solve this problem? it would take to long time to scan true the computer for the iexplore.exe then start it, any faster way to solve this? smile

It doesn't take long at all, most scripts have "About" dialogs with a link to their website using /run iexplore.

/run iexplore.exe www.google.co.uk opens up straight away.

I actually like, and use that, for an /ie alias. But let's say I already have IE open. For the IE that have tabs (6.0+?), is there any way to maximize IE and open a new tab for the $1 site?

For that I'd probably use /url.

Code:
alias browser {
  url -a $1
}


I saw a COM object script somewhere that manipulates iexplore can't remember where though. It maximizes window, removes status bar and such. I'll go explore.
