calling a file

[engineer_z]

Hi there

 

How can I call a .lnk file (shortcut of a bat file) inside a bat file.

 

Regards

Not really sure what you're trying to do, as there's no reason to use a shortcut if you're using a bat file to start a program, but literally just use:

 

start NameOfShortcut.lnk

Can't you just call the bat file directly?

Hello

 

I solved my problem if any one interesting, I used the following in my bat file:

 

call "shortcut file path"

and you can get the path by shift_right click on the shortcut file > select "copy as path" then past it.

The reason of using the shortcut file because when I run the shortcut file the network drive is coming hidden so I need to create a bat file as the following:

 

1. A mount network drive.

2.Call the short cut file (I use it to set "Run as administrator", which is disable in the original bat file)

3. Delete the amounted network drive.

 

and that's it.

Are you trying to get around network security measure in place where you are?

Ha, it certainly looks like it! Always makes me paranoid if this will work here - I think I have dealt with similar before so hopefully.

I reckon its just something to make his life easier.
