Launch a shortcut
« on: April 12, 2006, 02:57:42 PM »
I am trying to run a dos file from a CD. I want to have it run full screen, but in XP I don't have the option in the properties. If I create a shortcut to the bat file I can change the options but I don't know how to run the shortcut from a bat file.

I tried this but it didn't work

START "C:\path\filename.lnk"

also I tried

CALL "C:\path\filename"

this would launch the shortcut, but it didn't run it at full screen like I have in the properties of the shortcut. Any ideas how to get this to run full screen?

Thanks

    You may need to enable EXTENSIONS

    In a batch try:
    @SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
    @C:\path\filename.lnk


    DOS IT HELP? ;)
