Huge fan of this program, which has become the main UI by which I interact with my computer -- thanks for creating it.

 

I've been able to assign Command Startlets to launch webpages (with and without arguments.)  But I'm having some difficulty assigning a Command Startlet to launch an application (a batchfile, in case it matters.)  What can I put in the Command field to accomplish this?  I've tried:

 

Filename.bat

C:\Foldername\Filename.bat

"C:\Foldername\Filename.bat"

 

Since winword.exe seems to work, I even tried moving Filename.bat to the same folder winword.exe is in, just in case Start++ is looking for apps there.  No dice.  All four of these efforts have the same result: when I submit the shortcut text to Start++ and press enter, Start++ itself launches but Filename.bat does not.

 

I'll bet I'm missing something simple.  What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks very much, and thanks again for this invaluable tool.

I have a .BAT working as a Command Startlet.  Under the Command Startlet, I created a new item to run a file called MoneyStartup.bat located in folder c:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\Personal\Money.

Shortcut = mym

Name = My Money

Command =  "c:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\Personal\Money\MoneyStartup.bat"

When I enter mym on my start search box,  it shows up as a Start++ item called My Money and runs great.  I put quotes around the command.

 I am using Vista SP1 and Start++ 0.8.1.0

It should run fine with the quotes son long as your running with correct credentials to run the bat file...
