thanks guys....

have you tried something like System.exec("fileName.exe");
Of course, from an applet you couldn't do this unless you were granted full permissions in security.

Make a java web start (JWS) program. It allows for easy deployment on clients machines. Clients would only need to click yes once.

There are a great many benefits to making a JWS app as opposed to just a simple applet. Be sure to google for more information on JWS. Learn everything about it and see if this is what you really want. You could really impress your boss.

Good luck!
