Run .lnk from desktop

[kman]

I have seen these on the forums but have not been able to get any to work.

Here is what I am trying. I think I may be off on my quotes? Thanks for any help!!

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c' @DesktopCommonDir & "NAME.lnk",@SW_HIDE)

Run(@DesktopCommonDir & "NAME.lnk")

Is that what you want?

$file = @DesktopCommonDir & "\NAME.lnk"
Run(@ComSpec & ' /c start "" "' & $file & '"', "", @SW_HIDE)

Was able to get it to work with this one. Thank you! I understand a little of what it is doing but dont totally get all of the quotes and how and why they are used. Just me not understanding it.

Thanks everyone for your time, it is very much appreciated. This is an excellent group!!

If the ShellExecute-method didn't work, then you most likely need to update your AutoIt, as that function

is pretty new. The newest version at the moment is 3.2.2.0.

Yes, I had the previous version, I will give the new one a try. Thanks!!!
