Question
I am installing nothing more than an .swf file and opening IE to pay the file in. I would like to put an shortcut on the desktop and I am able to do that successfully. My problem is that there is no set default to open swf files with. Is it possible to change that somehow?

Thanks.

you can set the file association and use ExecShell to open it.

however, i was wondering why you don't simply save the swf as a flash projector file (.exe). think even the flash player is capable of doing that.

b/c it makes the file size HUGE. trying to save some bandwidth costs :)
