Creating a shortcut to open a website in IE Tab
I have a bit of a question rather then a problem. My father uses security cameras who's GUI runs on ActiveX, therefore I need IE tab to run the GUI(And it does a great job at it). However I'm trying to simplify the process for him as much as possible. On his old computer I had a batch file that ran, had to disable dual monitors(Old software wouldn't run on dual screen) and then launch IE in fullscreen mode to the ip address. On his new computer which is running W7(old was running XP) IE won't let me log into the Security Camera system. So now I'm basically trying to make a desktop shortcut that will launch Firefox to the IP address with IE tab already running. Is this possible?

hello, you can add a command line option to the firefox shortcut to open the browser on a certain url - right-click the firefox desktop icon, select properties and after the program path add the ip address. then the whole line should look something like:
"C:\Program Files\XY\firefox.exe" 127.0.0.1
i also think that you can configure ietab to always show certain pages in ie-mode, so in combination you should be able to achieve what you want.
