Hi’ya,

Need a little help with a small prob that I’m having, I’ve made a bunch of self-extracting zips and then linked them to a graphic within an HTML page… But, when I go to click on the graphic, it won’t unpack its self to my hardisk.

Personal Thought… I think it has something to do with the way the file is accessed (the link) from the graphic. To unpack an exy file, one needs to double-click the executable too activate the self-extraction, in using a graphic link you are using a single-click instead of a double-click, if my assumption is correct… How do I fool the system, into thinking that I’m doing double-clicking action from the graphic, when I’m really doing a single-click?

Please Note… I’m new to HTML and C++ Programming. I’m organizing little projects for myself to learn these too Programming languages, so if you can, please keep it simple… In short, if you assume that I’m a complete and total idiot, you won’t go to far wrong!

:rock: PS… I’m using M$ FrontPage 2000 for the time being, as a learning tool, to understand what’s going on within HTML.
