How to start an application thats in Start menu

[willwatters]

I ran the below code to run/open an application from the following path but it didn't work successfully - D:\documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mitratech\Claim Litigation Mailer Utility.lnk:

;Launch Claim Litigation Mailer Utility from start menu > programs

$details = FileGetShortcut(@StartMenuCommonDir & "\Programs\Mitratech\Claim Litigation Mailer Utility.lnk")

$mycommandline = $details[0]& " " & $details[2]

run ($mycommandline,"",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

Sleep(2000)

I would appreciate your help in correcting this code.

Thanks.

I haven't been able to get any errors. What kind of error message are you getting?

[jdickens]

Does it work with simply Run and the hardcoded path of the executable?

That is, rule out the FileGetShortcut fn?

I might be curious to see if @StartMenuCommonDir ends with a \ already.

Your curiosity seems to spread. Just checked: 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu'. It's good to see that our nice devs are consistent with that 'no trailing slash' thing. Makes it very simple...too bad I always forget that and error myself out with it

Take a look at all my error logs some times, most of them are I-D-10-T errors
