I've really outgrown the standard methods of launching programs. I
just have too many programs and too many different sets of parameters
to pass to them at this point. The list will not be shrinking any time
soon. I created a killer launch pad quite a few years ago, but I've
outgrown even that. Right now I'm using an army of ms-dos batch files.
And they are all spread out in different folders all over the hard
drive. This is unacceptable.
I may not be able to use HTML for this, but I can simulate a web page
with Delphi. Labels can be used to simumlate hyperlinks. I started
working on it last night. No problems. I hate to have to resort to
programming every time I try to do something, but oh well that's
computers.
My thanks to the people in here for helping me out.
