Queener Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 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.

water Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Does Maintenance.exe exist on the desktop of pc1user?

Queener Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 yes. On all users Desktop. It is being deployed there automatically on each pc.

Moderators Solution JLogan3o13 Posted August 12, 2013 Moderators Solution Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Hmm...if it is deployed automatically it is probably on the All Users desktop, not each individual's. Try the @DesktopCommonDir macro. Edited August 12, 2013 by JLogan3o13 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

Queener Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 thanks; @DesktopDir works perfectly. CommonDir actually uses public profile instead.
