[Closed] Autostart a html page

Jun 02, 2005 8:09 am

I wonder if it’s possible to start a explorer session/html page from max?

I have auto-generated a html page with max and now I want it to auto-open in explorer so – the user of the script can view and print the html document from explorer. Is this possible?

If your page’s URL is in the variable

myPage = “c:/temp/myPage.html”

you just have to call

shalllaunch myPage “”

and the document will open in the currently registered default Windows Web browser.

If you want to bypass the Windows default and launch a specific browser, you could say

shellLaunch “explorer.exe” myPage
