Program that runs .exes?

[Golbez]

More specifically I want it as a game menu for myself, since i play around....10 different games, it would be very useful to me, and I don't know why it really matters what the use of it is, i'm halfway making this to clean up my desktop, halfway making it to learn more about autoit and coding in general.

search for a program called PStart.. it is what your looking for

your welcome Lambort ,

I'm pretty new to AutoIt myself so it's a case of the blind helping the blind you could say.

If your wanting to save settings you could look at IniWrite ..

look at IniRead for loading your settings.

Rough updated example of earlier post.

    $ReadIni = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "Settings","Shorcut1","")
    GUICtrlSetData ($ProgramToRun, $ReadIni)

EndFunc

Hope it helps.

Good luck cheers
