Skype crashes when opend via AutoIt

[shmuelw1]

I have a script for starting all my startup programs. But when I use the script to start skype, skype crashes immediately. When I start up skype using the shortcut on the desktop it works fine.

(I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with AutoIt3.exe in compatibility mode for Windows XP.)

Any ideas?

First thing I would try is shellexecute on the shortcut.

Look what the shortcut has set as working directory and try setting that in Run().
