Interacting with Startmenu shortcuts

[DaveWunderlich]

I want to run an old dos-based app (It's called Metaview) that requires several memory properties to be set in the shortcut. So I either need to find a way to reference that shortcut and open the app this way, or to create a new shortcut object that I can set the necessary memory properties for and then launch the app using it.

Can anyone give me some sample code showing me how to do something like this?

Thanks

Assuming that you can set these options from DOS, you could
write a batch file that does the settings and THEN calls the DOS
program.

Instead of referencing the program directly, your shortcut will
reference the batch file.
