I can only guess you have had some horrendous experience with doing this that I am not privy to, and that I have never experienced in my environment. I would appreciate it if you would expound on your reasons for not using HTA's, rather than berating me for it. Regards William R. Ramby -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Braebaum, Neil Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 11:59 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: IE I've asked you once, nicely, Bill, but still you continue with this foolishness ;-) Whether using HTA, or not, disables CTRL-N, it would be inordinately stupid to advocate that (or removing window chrome) as a reason for running HTML pages as HTA, in general. You should only run things as an HTA, because they are a HTA - otherwise you open yourself to a *huge* security hole. It may be a quick and easy suggestion to you - but to make such advocacy in a public forum is quite inappropriate. Take a moment and consider the implications, and what fundamentally the HTA model provides before saying anything like this again, especially given the context of what the original poster asked. And as you mention it, I *do* develop HTAs as pretty powerful apps - which is *exactly* why I'm so shocked you should make the suggestions you have, for the reasons you have. Please, listers, don't even *consider* running HTML as HTA, *just* for window chrome reasons, or *just* to disable CTRL-N or other keystrokes.
