Making a dashboard, need to locate .exe files.....

INTELCRAZY · 05-09-2007, 02:39 AM

I am making a dashboard for ppl who aren't computer literate. I need the target .exe locations for, Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, etc. Can someone tell me an easy way to locate these, instead of hunting around for them? Would Search work?

Thanks

Yes the search would work, IE is called iexplore.exe (C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer default) and OE is msimn.exe (C:\Program Files\Outlook Express default) but now I've told you and you don't have to seach anymore

Yeah, I searched I would like to know what the Search .exe file is called

I don't know

It may not even be an exe, it could be a dll.

Okay, I guess I will Search for Search, lol.

You can try, but being a windows component it's not likely going to be named search.exe

Google might help but like I said, it might not be an exe.
