You can: </div> <div class="s14"> <li>run a program by using a dummy file name. The syntax is <i>prog:dummy.txt</i>, where ".txt" is a Windows registered file extension (i.e. Windows knows how to manage the file; this is true when the proper application is installed <a class="s14" href="prog:dummy.txt">click here for an example</a>) </li></div> <div class="s14"> <li>run a program or a file by using a relative path (relative to current hypertext). The syntax is: <i>run:path\exename.exe</i> or <i>run:..\mypath\exename.exe</i>. You can also run a file by using <i>filename.ext</i>, where <i>.ext</i> is a Windows registered file extension. </li></div> <div class="s14"> <li>run a program or a file on the CD. The syntax is <i>run:cddrive:\mypath\exename.exe</i> (runs the software <i>exename.exe</i> available in the <i>mypath\</i> directory of the CD; you can also run a file as above). The CD drive letter is stored during installation. If the user has many drives, and swaps them, PaperKiller prompts the user to insert the new path when needed. </li></div> <div class="s14"> <li>run a program by storing the command line somewhere in the Windows Registry. This means that an external application must write to the Registry a string that will be used by the iPerReader. The syntax is <i>prog:\software\acme\exename</i>, where that string means that the program path is stored in the key <i>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\acme\</i>, string <i>exename</i> (<a class="s14" href="prog:\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Viewers\image/bmp">click here for an example</a> that will run the image/bmp viewer of Netscape, if installed; we have used <i>prog:\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Viewers\image/bmp</i>) </li></div> <div class="s0">  </div> <div class="s0"> See also “Insert >Link >File” to learn how to embed little files in the
