I am attempting to get an exe file to play on load. How would I insert the exe file in dreamweaver 8 to play when the page loads. Very similar to loading a flash movie. The file is created with an exe extension and I can not change that or recreate. any help is appreciated. Thanks

In general you cannot do this on anything other than an intranet. Is that
where you are working? If so, then you would have to investigate using
ActiveX to fire that exe file - check the Microsoft site....
