the .exe file must be in the same dir as the windrop.. you can change it's path if you want it to start from other place like this: c://something/bla.exe .. or something.. do some tests.

that is what i sad i did some tests i putted it in windrop directory, and in system32 that is a directory if you know dos set path=c:\winnt\system32 so that means any file in windows or dos can be executed without using path

also used "c:\kill.exe" ... and so on, it just doesn't work is ther something i am doing wrong ?

You can't just use c:\kill.exe

It has to be c:\\kill.exe

Tcl interets the \ as it does on *nix, as an escape character.

As such, you have to use \\ to escape itself.

sorry yes .. ...... ???

i tryed

c:\\kill.exe
c:\\kill.exe\\
"c:\\kill.exe"
"c:\\kill.exe\\"
"c:/kill.exe/"
"c:/kill.exe"
c:/kill.exe
c:/kill.exe/
kill.exe = when file is in the windrop root direcotry
"kill.exe" = when file is in the windrop root direcotry
