Reverend May 15th, 2005, 19:48 PM You need to edit the registry and create a new string and sub key for the program. You might find this article (http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc2/v9/vic9.htm) helpful piaqt May 16th, 2005, 00:33 AM The last refinement of my googling produced an article at winguides.com. Thanks, rev cash_site May 16th, 2005, 02:16 AM thats a good idea Piaqt... so does it come down to editing the registry?? any quick way? piaqt May 16th, 2005, 16:56 PM Thank you, yes, and no. hotmale May 16th, 2005, 20:06 PM There is a very simple way. No need to hack the registry :D Just create a shortcut to the app and place the shortcut in the Windows folder. piaqt May 17th, 2005, 16:11 PM Can you append switches to the path? hotmale May 17th, 2005, 18:21 PM Can you append switches to the path?I think so, though I'm not sure. It's quick, so try it and see :D hotmale May 18th, 2005, 17:42 PM Can you append switches to the path?I've checked and it worked, piaqt. BTW, when you use this method, you don't need to type ".exe" - only the shortcut's name. See, I've also saved you four keystrokes :D
