In our organization, we have a group in IT that want to have links on their department's home page that would provide easy access to the numberous windows apps that they frequently run. Is this possible? Security-wise, it doesn't seem like a browser would allow the launch of an .ext file without setting browser security settings to be so low as to be dangerous. Can anyone advise please?There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you're are trying to accomplish.

Where are the exe files stored... on a server somewhere? If so all you do is put a link (you can use the left navigation / quick launch, or even a links list): file:///\\server\folder1\subfolder2\applicationFolder\application.exe
