Hey guys use

[hiddenlink]

thid doesnt run:

Case $Button7

run("iTunes.exe" , "C:\Program Files\iTunes")

[Nahuel]

You are using it wrong.

Run("C:\Program files\iTunes\iTunes.exe")

The first parameter of Run() is the full path to the application you want to run. The second parameter is the working directory.

Ahh, ok Thanks a lot.
