How do I run Shortcut Files ?

You need the ShellExecute function.

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim sFile$

sFile = "d:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Desktop\Netscape Communicator.lnk" ' Run Netscape Shortcut

Call ShellExecute(0&, vbNullString, sFile, vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus)

End Sub
