Correct really, we dont want to interact with Excel etc, just open the page.
Basically its because all the staff use that intranet for everything, ie
its always visible, everything they are doing comes from that, so the
idea is, having likes to applications makes things even easier for them.
All i want to be able to do is open the application, not do anything
with any data just run say C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Excel.exe
from a link, so when the user clicks on the link, that application loads
