im trying to put a link to photoshop 6 on my active desktop. do you have to do it the same way as you would for adding solitaire?because i tried that and when i click the link nothing happens.

in other words.. how would can i add a link to adobe photoshop on my desktop?

this is what i have:
"<a onClick="exec('photoshop.vbs'); return false;" href="java script:void(0)">adobe photoshop 6</a>"

have you had made the shortcut link for it.. and placed it in the c:\windows folder... also beside it there should be a vbscript

Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell")
oShell.run "photoshop_shortcut_name_here"
Set oShell = Nothing

Then placed the scipt at the top of the HTML file you are using as the active desktop ?

Did you remove the space between 'java' and 'script'?
