Hi, I have an CF application that allow user to select an image, and I want to open it in mspaint on the client side with a predefined name.

I know CFEXECUTE won't work since this is for sever side, and it put mspaint in the background.

I have been researching, but haven't find anything close.

Can anybody help?  Thank you!  I am using CF9 and  IIS.

    One cannot force an application to start on the client side.  Not possible.  Full-stop ("period", if you must).

    The best one can do is to set the response to be a specific MIME type (eg: image/jpg), and such responses might or might not be configured on the client machine to kick-off an application of their choice.  But the server side of things cannot influence things beyond that.
