ShellExecute(@UserProfileDir & "\desktop\Maintenance.exe")

 

I have a couple computer with different UserProfile and if I compile it; it will not work on other computers. Was wondering what's the official way to code this so it work on all users computer. If I compile this on pc1 and run it on pc2, it will prompt an error saying it couldn't find the file on C:userspc1userdesktopMaintenance.exe.

yes. On all users Desktop. It is being deployed there automatically on each pc.

Hmm...if it is deployed automatically it is probably on the All Users desktop, not each individual's.

 

Try the @DesktopCommonDir macro.

thanks; @DesktopDir works perfectly. CommonDir actually uses public profile instead.
