Run("E:\Programs\AutoIt3\AutoIt.chm", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

run(@windowsdir & "hh.exe E:\Programs\AutoIt3\AutoIt.chm", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

you need to specify what to open it with.

hmmm... I know that hh.exe opens chm files in winxp/2000, I don't know what opens it in earlier versions.... you can check the file association of chm... I'll tell you how if you need it

[bobheart]

I have XP and there is a hh.exe in windows ( i looked) so what could it be ?

[emmanuel]

run(@windowsdir & "\hh.exe E:\Programs\AutoIt3\AutoIt.chm", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

[bobheart]
