I want to open an app which has a shortcut path similar to


"C:\Programe Files\Temp\Temp.exe" "C:\Programes\Temp\Temp2.ws"

However Shell does not like this


?

Sub Macro1()
x = Shell("cmd.exe /c C:\Programes\Temp\Temp2.ws", 1)
End Sub

By using cmd.exe you do not have to start the application. cmd knows which
application to start to process Temps.ws
