    API: ShellExecute

    Is there anyway to specify the Directory as a 'CURRENT' directory versus a fixed directory? I want the ShellExecute to launch a file on the root of a CD no matter the Drive letter.

    Any help is appreciated.

    You mean like "\stuff.bat" (that will run from the root of the current drive)?

    There's a SetCurrentDirectory API call that can change it.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    I believe the ChDir statement is the same as that API function.
