BrewManNH Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Half of the shortcuts arguments are in the "file" parameter position, and the other half are in the the "args" position. Try putting them all in the 'args' position instead and see if that works. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

BrewManNH Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Just looked up the states that this function accepts, and @SW_MINIMIZE isn't one of them, try it with @SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE instead.
