VERY annoyed - won't work

You'd need the %20 or whatever shizzle instead of spaces, that's why it will not be finding the file. And why the hell would you need to CHMOD?

[WiseBen]

I tried that scott but it still wouldn't work (grr) and yeah that's what i thought also about CHMOD ;l
I also realised why it was permission denied, because i had created the file and didn't refresh the script, so the script was still using the file and 2 programs sometimes can't use one file at the same time.

try uploading it to a website, it might be the fact you're not running off a server. (unless you have your own server in your PC.)

CHMod im pretty sure is a Linux unique way of setting permission on files. Something that dosent exist on windows.

As far as I am aware for security javascript can't access files on the users PC.

Just what I was thinking Think of the problems if it could - people could view your Windows key

nonono i'm making a HTML applications using a .hta extension which is a trusted file by windows so security isn't a problem, it's just i can't get the syntax right lol which is irritating.
So what i need is to be able to open a file with a certain program using javascript, does anyone have that code? Imagine that i've already defined shell like i have above, so it should be something like
ishell.run "c:/blahbla/applicationname.exe" "c:/filename/folder/file.extension"
but i can't get it right, i've tried googling it and everything :@
