Hi All!

I would like to know if there is any way to modify the behaviour of Internet
Explorer, so that if I right-click an HTM file in Windows Explorer, and
select "Print", the file is printed to the default printer instead of
opening a print dialog to ask for confirmation?

The print is launched by an automated task which stops until the user
confirms the action.

Thanks for any info!

Thanks Ramesh, though I *want* to print the HTML file, but without the
confirmation dialog.

James,

Misread the question. Here is a discussion about supressing the Print dialog:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&selm=l3eTcF6wBHA.1000@cpmsftngxa09

The Printo verb's default command is:
rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\Mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"
