    Hi I would like some help completing the development of a program.

    Just to give you some background, Im not a developer (apart from db related guff completed in university) but I have some expertise in web development mostly in asp/vbs and creating wsh scripts to aid n/w admin.

    What I want to know is how can I put an icon in the task bar and map it to an asp page or exe?:confused:

    thanks
    alan

    You could write a script to create it as a shortcut in the quick launch folder, then force the quick launch folder on.

    Please never force a users settings to do what you want rather than what they want. Its a nice fast way to get a bad reputation.

    The icon is put there by an application that is running in the background, so your best bet would be to use something like C# to create a small process that you can start on log on, which when clicked will do what you want.

    C# 2005 EE makes it the work of a few minutes, though it does mean that your users will need to have the .NET 2.0 framework installed.
