wsh(Windows Scripting Host), wshell.run arguments don't work

wshell.run arguments don't work

Author	Message
mark #1 / 2	wshell.run arguments don't work I want to launch two programs, one minimized and the other not. Per documentation you can use arguments to set the initial window for the launched application. Any idea why the following launches both windows maximized even tho I specified minimized on one of them? I have tried all window arguments with no resulting difference in how the windows launch. set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshell.run "D:\CTCBR\PPTWin.exe", 2 wshell.run "D:\CTCBR\Bridge.exe" I also tried return = wshell.run("D:\CTCBR\PPTWin.exe", 6) Any help would be appreciated.

Michael Harri #2 / 2	wshell.run arguments don't work Some windows programs do NOT honor the requested window style... Try creating an ordinary shortcut for these program and you'll probably see that the window style requested is not honored there either... -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Please do not email questions - post them to the newsgroup instead. -- Quote: > I want to launch two programs, one minimized and the other not.
