lostbit Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) I am trying to use run or send to launch firefox browser. In windows 7 run window I type firefox and it starts. I tried Run("firefox") I tried firefox.exe no joy. I then tried to use the full path and I get errors. Here I may not be using the proper path string. Any help will be usefull.

Tankbuster Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Just a small enhancement..(to find the EXE with registry and fallback to the guessed path) $FF=RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\firefox.exe","") if $FF == "" then $FF = @ProgramFilesDir & "\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" If FileExists($FF) Then MsgBox(4096, '', $FF & " Exists, press OK to start FF") Run($FF) Else MsgBox(4096, $FF, "Does NOT exists") EndIf Edited January 17, 2011 by Tankbuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
