You first said "explorer" (files) now you say iexplore (internet)? These are two different programs. this `C:\>C:\Windows\explorer.exe \tmp\xxx.pdf` works for me from the console (cmd.exe) update this doesn't :/ perl -e"`C:/Windows/explorer.exe /tmp/xxx.pdf`" Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply] [d/l]

Funny: `perl -e "qx(explorer.exe C:\Path\To\my.pdf)"` [download] opens the explorer, but `perl -e "qx'explorer.exe C:\Path\To\my.pdf'"` [download] opens my pdf only difference is the qx delimiter.

From perlop qx: Using single-quote as a delimiter protects the command from Perl's double-quote interpolation, passing it on to the shell instead: `perl -e "qx(explorer.exe C:\\Path\\To\\my.pdf)"` works	[reply] [d/l]
