[QUOTE="kevin939, post: 336390, member: 52493"] thanks xppx for your pointers I have downloaded the latest version of multishortcut. I have created my own dll by copying the multoshortcut00.dll and used dllfix to "register it. It now appears in the plugins/windows screen in the configuration utility. I have configured it from there changing the " text" to something I recognise and pointed the "exe" at a known executable - notepad. When I run mediaportal the "text" I set up appears in the start up screen like mytv etc screen and I can click it. It gives the same error as before - could not start program. So it looks, to me anyway, that when the dll tries to find the executable it cannot. Tried a number of options by tweaking the directory parameter and changing the executable name - full path, relative to directory, with and without .exe. Same error each time. I will try to get further tomorrow...... [/QUOTE]
