Hello,
I am trying to put a shortCut in StartUp Folder
to startUp Alelpad with this file ~~~Scratch.txt
Pls, what am I doing wrong with the following parameters.
"C:\Users\vmars\Desktop\myPrograms\~PortableFreeware.com\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe ~~~Scratch.txt"

I get an error: "The name in Target is invalid"
Please, what am I doing wrong ?

Does AkelPad allow a 'command line' startUp.

Thanks...Vernon

I think you have to type the full path of ~~~Scratch.txt, or
you have to specify the StartPath as where ~~~Scratch.txt is in the shortcut property dialog.

this doesn't work:
"C:\Users\vm\Desktop\myPrograms\~PortableFreeware.com\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe ~~~Scratch.txt"

Turns out, I just needed to remove the QUOTES .
I thought I needed them because of the space between 'exe ~~~'

Thanks All...Vernon
