Hi there!

I'm told that I can run all my games by using the shell command, but there is a problem - the game shows an error message! The problem is that it dont change default path that means that when I start my program in C:\programs\apprun\ itll default to this folder. When I start a game within my program it thinks that it is started in its own directory and make paths like this \dlls\custom.dll, which my program will treat as C:\programs\apprun\dlls\custom.dll when it should treat it with its own path c:\games\game\dlls\custom.dll and that means that the program wont be able to find the file.

With other words I need a command that makes me able to change default dir. (in combination with the shell command)

PS: Please turn a blind eye to my awfully grammars Im Danish :)

well use the full path
shell "c:\games\dll\123.dll"

:-/ Its not quite the answer i was hoping for cause c:\games\dll\123.dll is just an example - there are 1000 of file paths that's shorted like this one. Beside there is one command that change the path (like PathTree or so...), cause like I said its an impossible task to change all.

I once got the command, but a virus forced me to format my comp. So i will be able to recognize the right command

Btw: PathTree doesn't work just an example :)

You can use ChDir to change the path and then shell the program or you can use the API ShellExecute:

Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

ShellExecute 0, "open", "File name here", "", "Folder here", 2
