Ok...

So what I did is this. I used the advice of that thread I posted a link to in my last post and I think I found success. What happened is the file this time downloaded to my temporary internet files and then automatically opened into the browser window as the admin panel. Is this what is supposed to happen?

EDIT:

Just saw your last post. Cheers for the advice. I think the absolute path is what I added. The result is what's mentioned above. I think I'm on the right path (pun intended) now. What do you think?
