Help with Batch File: Open an HTM file from same directory

[lowcam]

I am trying to setup a batch file in XP that will open a stand-alone web
browser and open a web file in the same directory. So far this is what I
have:

START BrowzarWinstyle1500.exe \Links.htm

But this looks at C:\ for the Links.htm file. I tried just Links.htm but
the program tried to pull it up via the web (http://links.htm). Is there a
way to get the file to pull from the current directory? I need the batch to
open from any location (the htm file will always be in the same directory as
the batch file and .exe).

This command will download a file from a web page:
wget http://www.BrowzarWinstyle1500.exe
You can download wget.exe from
http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/wgetwin.html.

Try prefixing the path with "." to mean "current directory".
That might help Browzar distinguish a local path from a URL.

START BrowzarWinstyle1500.exe .\Links.htm
or
START BrowzarWinstyle1500.exe ".\Links.htm"
