Hi,
I'm searching for a small executable that works like a bat file running
the following command:

mozilla.exe -chrome chrome://ida/content

As you can see, I want to start Mozilla with a special chrome.

The executable should read an ascii file from the same directory (eg. an
ini file) to get the whole command line and run that command.

Thanks for any hints.
Daniel

Can't you just put that command into the command line (target) of a
shortcut to Mozilla? Make a shortcut to Moz. on your desktop, right click
the shortcut and select "properties" and in the Target field edit the
command to include -chrome chrome://ida/content.

Yes, I could, but I want to put all that stuff on CD-ROM and different
PCs and want a user to just click one executable. That's the way they
are used to start applications.

I could also change mozilla's default chrome, but that has some unwanted
side effects.

I currently use a .bat file but that leaves an ugly DOS box open until
the application closes and can't have it's own icon.

An executable as described would be great, not just for this project.

Thanks
Daniel

You make a .pif pointing to the .bat, and then set the properties for
the pif: change icon, run minimized, close on exit.

Am I missing something here?
