search the help file on how to use the run command...

Using it the way you are now, the run command will only look for anyfile named notepad.exe in the windows directory, home drive base and current script directory, try including the full path to the file.

Ohh you mean like Run("photoshop.exe" C:/program files/Adobe) ?

Ohh you mean like Run("photoshop.exe" C:/program files/Adobe) ?

close, more like Run(filegetshortname("C:/program files/Adobe/photoshop.exe"))
