okay, I had that problem to (when I first started). I thought it would work.
try changing your A HREF to this:
no clue why XP interupts it as such. the above will work.

okay. you need to expand on your BODY tag to get it to work. insert this body tag in place of the current one.
just make the changes you'd like.
PHP:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#FFFFFF" alink="#FFFFFF">just make the changes you'd like.

OK, the quicklaunch I made is still not working. It needs to be a shortcut of the .exe that the .vbs points to right? I am trying to add a quicklaunch for Counterstrike. I made a shortcut to it in the same directory as the .vbs
It looks like this:
Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell")
oShell.run "cstrike"
Set oShell = Nothing
and in the active desktop.html I have:
<a onClick="exec('cstrike.vbs'); return false;"
href="javascript:window.close()">Launch Counterstrike</a>
which I notice has a couple of spaces between false;" and href=
I removed the spaces and still no go. I also tried right click open. No go.
And the shortcut is named cstrike. What am I missing?

Casey, do this.
Right click on the icon that you use to launch CS. Is there something funky about the command line? Maybe a /s or something following the path to/exe?
Try this. Copy THAT shortcut that you use to run CS, and then paste a copy of it in C:\WINDOWS
You won't have to recreate the VBS file, just rename the shortcut to match. Get it? Try that.

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone.
Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
