To have a program that opens up your main browser and loads the desired page that i state inside the code?
it is possible. Think about programs where after clicking "help" or "about", or "register the product", link you directly to their website.

would you know how i would do that?
i would imagine telling the computer to open IE, but how would i make it go to the desired webpage?
look into libcURL

A quick solution would be to make a shortcut that goes to yoursite and call
system("c:\\pathtofile\\shortcut.exe");
in your program. system is in windows.h of course
how is thats supposed to be used to open a default browser and bring up a webpage?Originally Posted by MadCow257

hmm, that clib or w/e seems confusing, i wouldnt know how to use it.
how do i make a short cut to load a specific webpage?
if i were to do that, there would be no need to make a c++ program that opens ie and then loads the page, when i can just make the short cut.
is there a way to make c++ execute dos commands?
IE accepts command-line arguments (or maybe just one, I don't really know). So you can just try system("iexplore www.google.com");
Or whatever site you want. But they might not use internet explorer or something so it's not the greatest solution.

Right-click in the folder, go to new, click shortcut. Where it asks you to type the path of the file, type http://cboard.cprogramming.com. Click next to name your shortcut, call it "CProg Forums". Click finish, and you have a shortcut that points to CProghow do i make a short cut to load a specific webpage?

system() does that for you.
Just Google It. √

because that will open the shortcut which will in turn open the browserhow is thats supposed to be used to open a default browser and bring up a webpage?
Right Click on some unoccupied space on your screen and click new\\shortcut, then simply type the url of the site you want the shortcut to be forhow do i make a short cut to load a specific webpage?

that would work except my default browser is mozillaso you're trying to give him a solution that will work only on his machine, unless he packages a shortcut with it?

packing the shortcut isn't the issue, the problem is if it doesn't run on OS's besides windows.so you're trying to give him a solution that will work only on his machine, unless he packages a shortcut with it?
>>hmm, that clib or w/e seems confusing, i wouldnt know how to use it.
its libcURL, and it is really quite easy to use and implement...but I see that you're just waiting for code to be handed to you as you have no clue what you're doing; in that case, search google - I'm pretty sure that codeproject.com has some ready code for it.

if there was any documentation for windows, i would be more than willing to read it....
