[QUOTE="waeberd, post: 4863, member: 10343"] Hi, no, this is possible (but not very well documented :-) ). Here are some hints (and I hope I got your question right): 1) Create an (pseudo)-application item with: TITLE: "myTitle" LAUNCHING APPLICATION: <leave empty> STARTUP USING SHELLEXECUTE: <YES> SOURCETYPE: "FILELAUNCHER" and save it. You just created some kind of group item where you can attach executable items. 2) In the [i]application overview[/i] form (the start screen of the configuration), select the freshly created application entry and click the FILES button on the lower right. => you get into a "FILELIST" window. 3) Click "New..." to add a program you wish to launch. TITLE: <the text you wish to appear in MP> FILENAME: <the whole execution string exactly as if you'd type it into a cmd-window> IMAGEFILE: <an optional picture for this item> other fields are optional and will influence the <f3> info screen. [b]The thing is:[/b] FILENAME can contain a whole execution string! Some examples: [code]C:\Programme\DeluxeSkiJump\DSJ.EXE[/code] but another valid string is: [code]E:\media\emu\Mame32\Mame32.exe -skip_gameinfo -skip_disclaimer E:\media\emu\Mame32\roms\1941.zip[/code] You just have to make sure that (eventual) spaces in the executable are protected by double quotes: [code]valid: "C:\Programme\my folder with spaces\someprog.exe" somearguments invalid: C:\Programme\my folder with spaces\someprog.exe somearguments[/code] Hope that makes sense! Please ask if you need more info! Cheers, Daniel [/QUOTE]
