For answering various post:

Scott:
The STRPCCMD PCCMD('Start http://www.cnn.com') fails entirely.
The STRPCCMD PCCMD('Start iexplore www.cnn.com') fails entirely.

The STRPCCMD PCCMD('rundll32 url,FileProtocolHandler http://www.cnn.com') works.

I am running Vista, but had the same problem on XP.

The PC seems to dislike the 'Start....' but it seems many others are using it with success.
Reason for trying Start is the risc of running into the 123 char limitation and a Start
is just a bit shorter than the rundll32.....


Booth:
Using the above Start .... works in the windows Dos box (windows Start -> Run and enter the Start....)
but as mentioned not from STRPCCMD.


Vinay:
Vinay's problem seems to be somewhat close to mine since the STRPCCMD('Start...') will not
run on some windows configs.

Are we getting closer?

Helge,

Can you please clarify what you mean when you say it "works" or "doesn't
work"? Do you mean that it fails to pause? Or that the whole command
fails entirely?

thanks for all answers *S*

but STRPCCMD PCCMD('Start http://www.cnn.com') PAUSE(*NO) doesn't work either.

I have seen the Start used in many posts regarding STRPCCMD, but it seems it doesn't
work for me in whatever context.

When using:
STRPCCMD PCCMD('rundll32 url,FileProtocolHandler http://www.cnn.com')
it works.

What am I missing to understand ?

Brgds

Helge
