Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' Tuesday, February 4, 2003 at 6:58 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chris (Hunt) (3 messages posted) I have a question about Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt: Does this work with windows XP? I can't launch a lnk from within a batch file - I just get a command prompt window opening up. I've tried with and without the .exe and with and without including .exe i the name of the shortcut. What could I be doing wrong/ Thanks Responses to this message: re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (PartieHonteuse: Tuesday, February 4, 2003 at 9:38 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Tom Anselmo: Sunday, January 30, 2005 at 3:19 pm) Why "start" doesn't work (David Spector: Sunday, February 6, 2005 at 4:29 am) All messages in this thread [show all] Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Chris (Hunt): Tue, Feb 4, 2003, 6:58 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (PartieHonteuse: Tue, Feb 4, 2003, 9:38 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Chris (Hunt): Tue, Feb 4, 2003, 4:09 pm) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Revoman: Wed, Mar 19, 2003, 7:39 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Salieri: Fri, May 23, 2003, 7:19 pm) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Vinnie D: Wed, Jun 4, 2003, 12:02 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Daniel: Wed, Jun 11, 2003, 4:20 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Ken Jones: Tue, Jul 25, 2006, 3:23 pm) re: lnk won't run minimized when executed from cmd (dan: Mon, Nov 20, 2006, 11:39 am) re: lnk won't run minimized when executed from cmd (DDB: Tue, Jan 23, 2007, 11:02 am) re: lnk won't run minimized when executed from cmd (paul lawrence: Wed, Apr 4, 2007, 5:24 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Nick C: Wed, Dec 31, 2003, 2:55 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Chrisb: Fri, Jan 30, 2004, 8:27 am) re: Question about 'Run a Shortcut from the Command Prompt' (Assad E.K.
