Firefox Bookmarks (or IE Fav's)

[Alan]

I want to add this command as a bookmark in firefox :-

c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmwareConsole.exe -p password [noparse]user@hostserver:/root/vmware/winNetStandard/filename.vmx[/noparse]

but I cant for the life of me do it, I just get errors when trying to link to it, I guess its due to the paramerters (even tried a file:// prefix)

any clues ?

Erm wtf....

How about copy it to a notepad, save it on your desktop and think of it as a mini Firefox bookmark being kept specially all on its own because its dangerous n shit..?

because its dangerous n shit..?

Yeah but its the work PC not the home one - so I dont give a fuck

tried using forward slashes for the path? and use %20 to represent spaces:

I just bookmarked

"file:///c:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Monkey/My%20Documents/evekey.txt"

dont know if it will work for executables and their parameters.

edit: just tried it with backslashes and spaces but firefox converted it into the above anyway.

does the executable generate a webpage anyway? I just asumed it did.

you could try url parameters

c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmwareConsole.exe?p=password user@hostserver:/root/vmware/winNetStandard/filename.vmx

or something
