Hello

How to launch a shortcut in a .bat file knowing that it is possible to do so from scheduled tasks?

Thank you

Sorry aurovic, but it works for me...
... on XP Pro at least.

Don't worry about not being noticed; instead, seek to do something remarkable [Confucius]

re grofwa

Do you use START to launch the application or something else?

USE the following syntax grofwa:

START shortcutName (without the .lnk extension)

It wasn't working for me either otherwise (win xp pro sp1)

good luck!

Hi,

Well, in your shortcut, you put your shortcut with the .lnk extension at the end. Nothing groundbreaking, it seems to me...

Thank you for your response grofwa, but ......... it doesn't work!

I'm using "start" to launch this shortcut! Is that correct?

Here is my script too

@ echo off

REM *START OF PROCESSING*

REM *CHECK FILE PRESENCE*
cd\
cd C:\folder\folder\folder

REM *EXECUTE*

START "shortcut.lnk"

REM *END OF PROCESSING*

@Echo off

if you simply put STARD nomRaccourci without the extension, it should work.

For example
START DOSBox
with the DOSBox shortcut in the same location as the file
