Running a shortcut via autoit.

[Gift3d 0]

I've tried both the help in AutoIt, and the search function here, but oddly enough i got nothing.

I'm trying to run a shortcut.

Here's what my script looks like, it's pretty simple.

EDIT:: I need to run a shortcut, because i'm trying to run Mouse properties in the Control Panel. Putting in Control Panel/Mouse doesn't work, and i'm not sure how i'd get that to work either.

HotKeySet("{DEL}", "sixbit")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd


Func sixbit()
Run("C:\mouse.lnk", "")
EndFunc

I've tried the OpenFile just for kicks, no luck.

I've tried all different variations of run (C:/, C:\, mouse, Mouse, MOUSE.LNK, everything.)

Either if i can run this from [control panel/mouse] sort-of-way, or run a shortcut, either would be great.

Thanks!

HotKeySet("{DEL}", "sixbit")
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
Func sixbit()
ShellExecute("C:\Mouse.lnk")
EndFunc

is this what you need?

you cannot use the Run() function for executing .ink files... (shortcuts) I would suggest only using Run() for .exe's....using ShellExecute() for everything else

Yes that's exactly what i needed. Thanks a bunch for helping a learning noob out.
