I 'm familiar with the process of embedding a clickable link to a file
located on a share accessible to the recipient, and do so regularly by
using a UNC formatted path:

\\ServerName\Path\to the \location\of the\file

(Interesting ... the "" "" I wrapped the above line in dissappeared as
soon as I entered the close bracket. In Outlook [plain text] I'm not
used to that happening.)

My question: is it possible to do the same thing to launch a .exe (or
..cmd) with command line arguments?

Something like:

\\UNC Path\Executable /argument1 /argument2=some text string /arg3 etc

that line with extra quotes and spaces:

"" \ \ UNC Path\Executable /argument1 /argument2=some text string /arg3
etc ""

I'm using WinXP Pro SP3 with Office (Outlook) 2003 SP3 and IE8 Update
Version 0, however, I'd like confidence that the embedded link will work
regardless of the Windows / Office version being used.


[I am presently living with the Security Risk warnings that Outlook
loves to throw and just asking my users to go ahead and run the link.]
