Dear KJK, KH> I repeat. Nowhere is said that ShellExecute (the default "run stuff" KH> function) takes URLs. Nowehere is determined that it does NOT take URLS. You forget a consideration, an Important one in my opinion. This is not straight forward ShellExecute(), it's a shellexecute call to a Handler. This makes a world of difference because you cannot tell what the handler does (at least you are not supposed to). I mean for example this one, the mailto: handler is defined on my box I am writing from as : [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Programme\\The Bat!\\thebat.exe\" %1 As a thid party developer I am not supposed to know what that application does as a third party developer I am not supposed to collect every possible application on earth and test what stuff I have to filter out to protect THAT application. Still with me ? *I* think, normalistaion _in this particular case_ has to be done by the function. Sorry my opinion. -- http://secdev.zoller.lu Thierry Zoller Fingerprint : 5D84 BFDC CD36 A951 2C45 2E57 28B3 75DD 0AC6 F1C7 _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
