    Hello all, 
    
    I have found that if you name a file (can be any data file) a certain URL, on your desktop, and then g0 to IE and type that url, the web site will not come up, only the program that was named the certain.confusing? 
    
    i.e.
    
    - copy autoexec.bat to ..\desktop
    - rename autoexec.bat to www.google.com (can be any url)
    - then go to IE and type "www.google.com"
    - your batch file is then ran
    
    a few issues i have w/ this is:
    
    - the prog will only run if it is on your desktop
    - if you type "http://www.google.com", for example
      it will not run(unless u name your file the same thing)
    - it has only been tested on Win2k SP1, Winnt 4.0 SP6a w/ IE 5.5
    - it doesn't seem to have any privelage escalation (all progs are run as the current user logged on)
    
    Just want a few others to try it and see wut they think
    
    thanx alot
