Run an exe thats in a different folder

[2words4uready]

i made a yahoo script that must start yahoo itself

i understand that to do this you must place the the script in the same place as the exe you want to run and place this in your code

run("YahooMessenger.exe")

but i want to run the exe when my script is in a different file

any help appreciated!

ShellExecute("Drive Leter:\PathToYahooDirectory\YahooMessenger.exe")

I do believe you can just put the full path to the file in "Run()"

Example:

Run("C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\YahooMessenger.exe")

If that doesn't work, try "Shellexecute" with the full path

use the full path of the file.

for example

run("C:\Program Files\Yahoo\YahooMessenger.exe")
