Command startlet to launch application?

    Command startlet to launch application?

    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.
