Title: Launch a shortcut
Post by: ikeAtCyber 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? ;)
