[Zope] How to trigger the default browser from Zope?

[Bobb]

Ausum, Please keep it on the list.

That was just a hunch, based on too much damn M$ in my bloodstream, I guess
I
was just thinking like a "Redmondian".:)
I was having problems with an NT4 machine just today actually, I did see
(and the bulb went off again)
that in NT4 that under services, there's the "Interact with the desktop"
check box.  under
everything > w2k, it's under logon (2nd tab under service properties ) maybe
checking / enabling that will help.
I _wish_ I knew more about win32service, but unfortunately I don't.
I guess my advice would be  1) read the source and 2) google is your friend.

Good luck.


ill help
