Hi i would LIKE to create a batch file that will run a specific file. the file is in C:\program Files\
the command i used is start /Dc:\ /max C:\Program Files\MSNmessengerTEST\MSN8\msn 8.exe but it just comes up with an error box saying cannot find "C:\Program" Please help! :-?The space between Program & Files is giving you the problem. Enclose the parameters in double quotes ("params")A possible atlernate solution: Use the CD command to NAVIGATE to the folder, and then simply run it. But that's just a matter of preference. i have just realised that i can just type the file name straight into MS dos and it will run he .exe file but now i have anouther problem when the file launches i want it to be full screen but it is not, is there a way to launch it full screen :-?You're talking about MSN 8, right? Well, if you maximize it once, and close it, it should remember that it's full screen when loaded again. thankyou I'm just curious, but why not a shortcut?Analysis: 80% probability that he is attempting to learn DOS and is using his browser as an EXAMPLE, 5% probability that he just didn't think of that, and 15% probability that he's using this as part of a larger batch file.its part of a larger batch fileWell, that explains that. Feel free to write again if you have any other questions/problems. At least I was partially right; I got the ACTUAL motive in there. Let that be a lesson: Never partner with me in Clue.
