Interesting. Same OS and you can only get one of those two SHELL calls to work, while I can start my Notepad++ either way...

Code: (Select All)

Shell _Hide _DontWait "start C:\Windows\notepad++"

and

Code: (Select All)

Shell _Hide _DontWait "C:\Windows\notepad++"

Both work for me.

Now interesting that on my system, Notepad (not ++, just notepad) and Firefox can both be called without a drive and path, but Notepad++ requires the drive and path. The file finding ability is a nice feature of SHELL but again, it is not always reliable. It may have something to do with how the various apps are registered in the registry.

Anyway, the difficulty isn't so much getting whatever you need to work on your device, it's getting them to work, as intended on all devices.
