Is this possible? I don't need a clickable link for the user or anything, I just need the script to open a URL in the users default browser. How would I go about doing this?

function openURL(url) {

  var fname = "shortcut.url";

  var shortcut = new File(Folder.temp + '/' + fname);

  shortcut.open('w');

  shortcut.writeln('[InternetShortcut]');

  shortcut.writeln('URL=' + url);

  shortcut.writeln();

  shortcut.close();

  shortcut.execute();

  shortcut.remove();

};

For windows you can use

system ("explorer http://adobe.com")

By the way, the START command does exactly the same thing when the URL is pinned to it )

I just installed 19.1.2. I plan on updating xtools, CSX, and ImageProcessorPro over the next month.
