Running a shortcut

Post by dhenss » Wed Sep 20, 2006 3:35 pm

I am trying to write a script that will run a shortcut that I have on my desktop. The shortcut points to a folder on another computer that has been mapped as a drive. The shortcut also uses the start in option.

The shortcut looks like this:

W:\program.exe /f: (W is the mapped drive)

The Start in is:

W:\

I guess my first question is how do I set the start in folder for this script? My second question would be do I need to do anything extra to make sure the switch (or switchs) at the end of the program are addressed.

Thanks
