creating a .bat file for skype doesnt work?

[ranteo]

Hi, I'm writing a .bat file to run certain programs upon a click. This includes Skype, but I can't seem to get it to work.

The file path is C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe but writing start "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone" Skype.exe doesn't work. A window pops up saying it can't find Skype.exe but I've checked the path and it's correct.

Any help is greatly appreciated? Thanks.

try this: (remove the quotes, i just added them so you could see the two different commands)

"cd C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone"
"skype.exe"

hey thanks
it works but the cmd window that opens doesn't close by itself?

hmm... how odd... try putting one final line in, with just the word exit

Try this command.

start "" "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\skype.exe"
