I am attempting to create a script that will run ad-aware on my pc and do a scan in the middle of the night and delete any spyware it finds. I know how to do everything else except run the program.

Here is my run command:

Run("Ad-Aware.exe","C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal")

I keep getting a cannot find file error. But this IS the location of my adaware exe, and the spelling is all correct. Im not sure why this wont work, yet when i tell it to do the same thing with notepad:

Run("Notepad.exe","C:\WINNT\System32")

It wil work in this instance. Im a little confused why run would work with notepad and not any other program, and would appreciate any help those of you could give me

you have to include the full path for the first parameter when the program isn't located in the %Path:

Run("C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal\Ad-Aware.exe")
