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.

You're the first person I see online that copies a "foreign" program into "Windows" directory! Instead of creating a directory right under the user's home directory like I have done. Could have had something like:

Code: (Select All)

Shell _Hide _DontWait "C:\Users\wabbit\myprogs\notepad++.exe"

Yet it works; the point is to avoid spaces in directory and file names wherever possible. Also Pete, you're only doing what is expected normal on Linux: the application executable is usually installed into "/usr/bin" so that directory has thousands of files and it becomes a mother to check them out with a file manager.
