Internet Links

Ok I want to have an internet link, that launches this program. In both browsers, netscape and ie5 this should work seamlessly. Also if someone clicks the link and the program is not installed on their computer, the cpu will realize that and prompt the user to download the program. Is this possible. I know if a website uses MSFT agent 2, and it isin't downloaded it will prompt you to do so. So, how is this done?

How do you want to do this?
API, activeX, hacked work around?

activeX
you can get an activeX control for this from
http://www.winfiles.com

hacked work around
you can shell execute both ie and netscape
and pass them a url as a command line arguement

API
i'll get back to you on this coz i'm not at my PC...
