That works even better. Thanks! -
I got it to work, at least the launching of the Chrome Ink. The SendKeys part is not a problem I can insert that later. Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "Chrome.lnk"', @DesktopDir, @SW_HIDE)

Okay I will test that.

Hello everyone, I could use some help with the following: I'm a speech recognition user and recently I've started to use AutoIt for additional scripting because sometimes it works faster. I would like to create an AutoIt script that will open the Chrome link on my desktop which is a a symbolic link, so that the Chrome cache is on my Ram drive: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir="A:\Browser Cache" Next I want to send the website address, in this case: https://autochords.com/ (with SendKeys) to the address bar. Then another SendKeys to send Enter. I want to use this script when I'm working on my girlfriend's computer, where speech recognition isn't installed. I could use ShellExecute ("Chrome", "https://autochords.com/") but then it won't run via my ram drive. I am a Dragon NaturallySpeaking user. The program has a scripting language similar to VBA. In Dragon the command is as follows: HeardWord "open","chrome" ; HeardWord acts as if I literally said "open Chrome" this command opens any desktop shortcut no matter which window I'm working in. Wait 1500 SendKeys "https://autochords.com/" SendKeys "{Enter}"; these last three lines are similar to AutoIt language I think..... Any help would be appreciated. Rob

Thank you Jayme! I am a Dragon NaturallySpeaking ( speech recognition) user. I find that the AutoIT program language has similarities with Dragon scripting (VBA). Like many others I browsed the web for more information about this program language. Having no mathematical background whatsoever, not much programming experience too. Things like variables, constants, dim etc. never seemed to make much sense ( although I read about it in various scripts), now finally start making sense. You've managed to make these things accessible. That's an accomplishment! Rob.
