It should be "Shell.Application", not "shell.Shell_Application".

Answer 2

A:

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("C:\\Program Files\\my_html_files\\file.htm")

file.htm exist but when I run the script I get the message that the system cant find the specific file?

lidia 2010-08-09 09:00:41

Try to put script file in the same folder as target html file, remove the absolute path and try again

abatishchev 2010-08-09 09:02:11

I cant because I must to run it only from this PATH

@abatishchev: Backslashes aren't special characters in VBScript, so they don't need to be escaped.

Answer 3

+1 A:

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("""C:\Program Files\my_html_files\file.htm""")

And check the application registered with the .htm extension (probably IExplore.exe), in these registry keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.htm
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\open\command
HKCU\Software\Classes\.htm
