Hmmmmm..... a wee bit of work

1. Copy the address from the address bar then go Start=>Run
2. Paste the address in the Run dialog box
3. Type in front of the address "lynx.bat" without the qoutes

I think you need to have SET PATH to your lynx.bat file.

Or, if you are lazy but don't mind typing, just type the *FULL* path to
your
lynx.bat in the address bar before the URL.
