Run(control.exe) opens Explorer

[MrBedo]

I've got a simple script that starts off by opening the control panel using the command:

Run("control.exe")

Once compiled with the rest of the script and run as an administrator it works without any problems. If I run it as a normal user it launches an instance of Windows Explorer instead of the control panel.

Control.exe works fine as a normal user if I run it other ways though. If I clcik on START then RUN and type control.exe into the box then it opens the control panel as normal.

Can anyone shead some light onto why its demonstrating this odd behaviour ?

cheers

I'm sure it has to do with your Administrator settings... someplace. But i'm not sure where.

but this might help now

Run(@ComSpec & " /C START " & "control.exe", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)

good luck
