Is Java Applet Best?

Thread view: 
Jon Turlington - 06 Dec 2005 18:54 GMT
To anyone with an opinion:

I am trying to write a series of fixes for customers on our website. I
want it to do things like clear temp. internet files, delete cookies,
setup outlook express(with ins file), and a series of other easy fixes,
but I am unsure of what language can handle it and what language can
handle it best. I have seen Time Warner does have a series of these
fixes on their site and I am trying to mimic something of that nature.
If anyone has any input please let me know.

TIA,
Jon

I can understand why you would want to do this, but I personally would
be leary of trusting any executable that would try to do these
functionalities from a website.

You can do a signed java applet that you could get the user to accept
to do some of these tasks.. But most modern browsers have simple
utilities inside of them to handle them.

I would look at providing excellent documentation on how to do these
tasks rather than actually performing it for them.

my 2 cents,

Clear temp files is easily done in Java. Prototype source code for
that below: If you need to poke the registry, you will need some JNI
to do that in Java.  

If most of the work involve the Windows API, You might as well use C++
to start.
