When you say 'on your desktop' I assume you mean locally and not online.
In general, it should work if your path is correct although some browsers
may refuse to open the exec and/or not identify the path for support files
like dll's and/or not take arguments correctly. So said, I tried it in ie6
(without arguments) and it opened Opera fine. Btw, most program files are
in a folder called "Program Files".
