Which .exe file? An .exe file can be a program or a process?

You may run .exe file from a batch file when you KNOW the complete path to the .exe file. Or the .exe is INCLUDED in the search path.


C:\>path
PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Co
mmon Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10
.0\DLLShared\;c:\bin

C:\>On my XP pro machine there are 2,123 .exe files.


C:\>dir /B /S *.exe | wc -l
2123

C:\>



C:\WINDOWS\system32>dir /B /P *.exe
accwiz.exe
actmovie.exe
ahui.exe
alg.exe
append.exe
arp.exe
asr_fmt.exe
asr_ldm.exe
asr_pfu.exe
at.exe
atmadm.exe
attrib.exe
auditusr.exe
autochk.exe
autoconv.exe
autofmt.exe
autolfn.exe
blastcln.exe

Press any key to continue . . .

You can use the Run method of the shell object:

Code: [Select]Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "c:\windows\system32\programname.exe",,True

Note: The True parameter indicates to wait on return. In other words, wait until the program finishes executing before continuing with the NEXT instruction.

and how to disable it

Not sure you can. It's part of the VBSCRIPT instruction set.

Good luck.C:\>type cal.bat
@echo off
calc.exe

REM full path :C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe
C:\>cal.bat


______________________

Disable calc.exe by renaming calc.exe or delete calc.exe


C:\>ren /?
Renames a file or files.

RENAME [drive:][path]filename1 filename2.
REN [drive:][path]filename1 filename2.

Note that you cannot specify a new drive or path for your DESTINATION file.

C:\>cd C:\WINDOWS\system32

C:\WINDOWS\system32>ren calc.exe xxcalc.exe

Thank you bro billrich and sidewinder
