I am trying to open a specific page within a .chm file from a Matlab GUI with the web function. Following the instructions and comments found here I have got the url of the desired page (mk:#MSITStore:D:\POv9\Ayuda\ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html). However, when I write the command I need at the prompt
web('mk:#MSITStore:D:\POv9\Ayuda\ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html','-browser')
it does not work (nothing happens neither an error message). I also have tried the following:
web('D:\POv9\Ayuda\ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html','-browser')
web('ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html','-browser')
without success.
I would like to know what I am doing wrong.
If you're on windows this works:
!hh mk:#MSITStore:D:\POv9\Ayuda\ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html
This opens the help file in the Microsoft Help Viewer at the specified page.

This is my very first post here, so I would like to start with Thank You. I found a lot of answers here.
I cant seem to open any link or hyperlink in pdf files with AxAcroPDF viewer? The Viewer is in a Windows Form and I use C#.
example from AxAcroPDF Viewer
Problem 1: When I click on a link nothing happens.
Problem 2: When I click on a local file link I get this security warning pops up and when accepted nothing happens?
But with Adobe Reader DC everything works just fine.
Thanks
I am attempting to write a program that looks at the current browser you have open, goes through each tab, and copies and pastes each page's url into a notepad file.
I have no issue with writing the file; my main concern is that I can't find anything in any language that can look at the browser, sift through the tabs, and scrape the url.
Does anyone know if this would be possible, any code that might be able to help (in any language), or if something like this exists? I would appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction.
The software I was looking for did not exist, so I created it. It's a chrome extension called Raincheck
The title says it all, there is a batch file behind a link:
click me
Clicking on it returns a 404 error.
I also tried navigating to this batch file right from Chrome / IE.
It still returns a 404. The file exists, permissions are good, event viewer has no errors.
Its running in IIS6.
Sorry looks like I found it by just adding a mime type of application/bat with extension bat.
I found this in the IIS settings of the actual site.
I am currently trying to figure out an issue with an Application Protocol Handler I've created. Following the directions listed on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), I was able to register my application, PDF Annotator, to open via a URL. The issue I am experiencing is when I try to pass a parameter along with the call. The application will open, but the file parameter that gets passed is not opening within the application.
My registry key is verbatim as dictated by MSDN. My HTML code is as follows:
PDFAnnotator:C:\path\to\file\file.pdf
The way I understood the protocol handler is it takes the URL and tries to launch it via the command line. That being said, I am able to open my pdf file in PDFAnnotator with following command in the prompt:
PDFAnnotator.exe C:\path\to\file\file.pdf
I've tried formatting the file path in the HTML differently thinking that would be the issue too. Has anyone else come across this issue or something similar?
Obligatory Update for future generations (http://xkcd.com/979/):
The reason I was doing this is because half of the PDFs my application handled would be editable while the other half were read-only. I was trying to keep the read-only ones in browser with the Acrobat plugin (I'm targeting chrome only) while the protocol would allow me to set the links of the editable ones to open with Annotator. I tried, on whim, to reverse this (setting the default to Annotator and creating a protocol for Acrobat). I did this, first by trying Acrobat's URI Scheme (acrobat://), which didn't work outside of opening Acrobat. Then, I tried creating a protocol for Acrobat. When that fired off, it gave me an error stating the path was wrong for the file name, path name, or volume. So, progress? I'm giving up on this for now as other priorities have come up, but hopefully this helps somebody down the road.
I'm building a Reporting web application right now with MVC3 and I've come up to a couple problems.
My goal is to have it able to generate and view Crystal Reports, SSRS reports, and Excel documents.
Right now I'm working on the Excel segment and I'm running into more trouble than I thought I would. First off, when I link directly to the file, it either opens inside the browser or it downloads it from the server and if the user makes changes it doesn't actually save it to the true file on the server.
I've tried both linking to the file directly using Razor and a ViewModel with the path to the document as well as directing it to an action that returned a File.
I've also tried linking it to a shortcut to the actual file thinking that if I could open the shortcut it would open the file the way I wanted it to and unfortunately it didn't really open at all.
The users already have access to the files on the server through a network drive, so as of right now they can go into the server, open the excel document, edit and save it no problem. I want to duplicate this effect through a link. The program already has a file browser built, so I can browse between the files and make links to the reports.
Thanks in advance!
Since they are apparently on a network drive, you can just link to the files directly, relative to the user?
For example: a link to file://///SERVERNAME/folder/
I tested it between two computers on the network, and that seems to work. However, you still get a popup asking that you want to do with the file, open or save. (both in firefox and IE)
Note: Yes, that many slashes seem necessary, lol
