C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe

no, sorry
to my knowledge only games and files made by game editor can be opened like that

[DarkParadox]

might be able to use:

Code: Select all

openUrl("C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe");

since the file locations are treated as urls.

no i tried that, it doesnt work
it just opens my web browser andit adds www. infront of it

so this isnt possible?

soon?

[DarkParadox]

didn't Sgt.sparky do this? he made some kind of DOS Simulator that could open any program you want

[Game A Gogo]

I don't think it could of opened any program you wanted

[Caaz Games]

oh,well maybe if you used open game script thing

Sparky's terminal simulator was just a simulator. It could do some dos coding, like changing background colors etc. But it didn't open programs.
With GE you can't even open an EXE if it's not created with GE. I've made a topic about this and Makslane told me GE's idea is to open just GE games, not other files.
