Okay, first of all, do you want to load the contents of a javascript file into a combobox on your application and automatically press it?

Well use IO.File.ReadAllText()
And to press the combobox, you can raise the ComboBox_Enter event.

Secondly, you can try to find a replacement for that code so it works on all OSes or you can disable it by doing a check like this:

My.Computer.Info.OSFullName.Contains("7")

Im not sure though, what the full OS name of Windows 7 contains.

how do you mean put a javascript file code into a combobox?

do you mean, call a javascript method in a webpage? do you mean put the url returned by the javascript method into IE URL combobox? your own combobox?

again your not clear about windows 7. what feature would you need to disable? what are you doing in windows 7 that vista/xp don't have?

There's a CodeBank entry for identifying the OS. It's more in-depth than that and provides a little more stability.

Yeah I found it some time ago, forgot to mention it in the post.

However I just want to say that if you are trying to load a javascript method into a webbrowser, depending on what you want to do, you might need to add void 0 to the method, to prevent that the javascript method changes the site into the methods value.

yes i need the javascript to be called in a webpage and windows 7 features taskbar progress bar i would have to disable that for it to work in xp or vista

[Zeelia]

Why would you have to disable that?
All webbrowsers have progress bars in their taskbars.

Besides, you are developing in .NET, installing the required framework should solve the problem.

However, to call a javascript in a webpage, depending on what you want to do, you could do like this:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("javascript:alert('Hello World!'); void 0;")

That will load the javascript javascript:alert('Hello World!') into the webbrowser.

in windows 7 the actual taskbar is progress bar i would have to disable the feature i have made for my web browser so it would work with xp and vista

Okay, I've basically already given you the code that you need to disable it.
If you want a more ingoing code and more exact code, take a look at this:
