I'm very keen to run a flash movie as my windows shell. Its potential for a 3d
animated interface is just soo tantalising only for one problem....when I
launch an application I have to do it with getURL() . This then brings up a
save / open dialog everytime I want to launch an app.
Is there any way to override this or bypass it?

Yeah, have a look at fscommand("exec", "myApp");

I gotta say tho, I think running a Flash movie as your windows shell is
absolute lunacy ;)
