Thanks for the reply. I tried without the quotes but it didn't help. Here is the
command I used:
start K:\Shortcuts\links\tiki tiki flets.exe.lnk
The name of the shortcut is tiki tiki flets
I've also renamed the shortcut to tikiflets (tikiflets.lnk)and tried :
start K:\Shortcuts\links\tikiflets.exe.lnk
start K:\Shortcuts\links\tikiflets.lnk
Without success.
Any ideas, please?
