Launch files properties of a file

[rich2323]

I am trying to launch the files properties of a file in a script. 

I have tried this but it give me an error.

ShellExecute ("C:\Troyit\testpdf.pdf","","","properties" )

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rich

So I was able to get to my goal, but was hoping to find something that did not rely on using Send command.

                Local $filepath = "c:\troyit\testpdf.pdf"
                Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
                ProcessWait($iPid)
                Send('!{Enter}')

What are you trying to achieve, other than launching the properties of the file? In other words, what is your end goal to be when the properties window opens?

Change the .pdf extension to open with Adobe Acrobat Standard set as the default.

what you are trying to do is called "changing file association", and instead of simulating that setting via the file properties dialog, look into registry settings or command-line utilities to do that. google "change file association command line" or "change file association registry".

 

also, regarding your original intent, had you bothered to search before asking, you'd have found several topics, such as this:
