|

hi
I'm wanting to run a simple ordinary desktop shortcut from VDS, is this posible without associating things? And can you do a easy association with VDS if needed?
Thanks in advance - really appreciate it.. |

| I allready know how to get the executible path and filename out of the shortcut, but I was wondering if there was a way to just to run the original shortcut (because some have parameters in the shortcuts), it would just be easier in my case. |

I have success running them on my comp here(XP pro) but on my other comp (XP pro) it has the below ERROR:
| Code: |
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in Folder Options control panel. |
I use:
| Code: |
Shell Open,shortcut.lnk |

Maybe if someone would just drop in and say "your wasting time time vtol - its easier to run the executible and add parameters by way of menu options" would be best...  |

If anyone has tried to run a desktop shortcut by way of VDS and has any helpful information concerning this topic, it would be great, if not I figure VDS cannot run a desktop shortcut(without problems arising).
Thanks for reading this post  |
