Thanks! I tried it, but the program is not found there.

This screenshot reveals all: the space is the culprit. It's what I've been trying to say but you guys were unaffected it seems. That's why I proposed the "PROGRA~1" or the other "outdated, internal 8-dot-3" name before the attempt was made instead from "D:\Programme".

On Linux might have been able to do something like this:

Code: (Select All)

D:\'Program Files'\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe

Incredibly, the stuff that prepares Wine and its related shortcuts doesn't do things this way, it creates a "dot-desktop" file that sometimes fails to launch the Windows app. So I have to get on top of it creating the "dot-desktop" file myself.

Thank's for the Tipps! It even works with "Program Files" now, thanks Pete. The IP number is displayed and Notepad opens with the specified file. There are two peculiarities:
1. The command line is also opened; is probably due to "Shell".
2. Without "_DontWait" the output window can/will not be closed until Notepad is closed.
It shows, however, that it is also possible with Basic, even with "Program Files". Upgradable! I will try if I can pack the call to external programs in a function.

Wait, did it work after all as D:\"Program Files"\... ?!

(facepalm) Now I'm that long-eared critter that Sam wants to shoot down, do it now while I'm blindfolded...
