Opening Links in Lotus Notes 6 on client machine

[acl03]

Has anyone gotten this to work? I have lotus notes running as a seamless app in citrix, and when someone clicks on a URL Link in an email, I want it to open up in IE on the local machine, not on the server. The link below describes a solution to this, which I can't get working.

http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX101648&searchID=-1

It suggests to make an exe file that takes a url as an argument and runs a shell command to open it. I wrote this in VB.Net, using the shell() command. If i run this VB Program from a command line like this on my machine:

c:\> url.exe

http://www.yahoo.com

It successfully launches IE like i want it to, but this doesnt work on the server. I have the .Net framework installed on the server.

Can anyone help?



Thanks,
Andrew
