Okay, let's say that there's an exe called "Program" and you can apply files with it using a command switch, like this: Program.exe -file example.tst So it would run Program.exe using the example.tst file. Now let's say that I had a whole bunch of "tst" files and I wanted to make it so that I could drag and drop one of the "tst" files onto a batch file and the batch file would then run Program.exe using whatever file I dragged and dropped. What would the batch file have to look like? I hope that isn't too confusing. Thanks!

try: ::start program.exe %1 ::end i am not sure if this will work.

Yeah, I did try that before I made the post on this board and it didn't work, which is why I made the post.

You can't do that in batch... Try visual basic script. Do a google search for windows scripting host. -Michael

Michael is right, I don't think that is possible in batch. However, you could make a script to generate a numbered list, so you would only have to access that batch file and type a number in order to run the program with a specific file. -- Secret_Doom - Leonardo Pignataro -- secret_doom@hotmail.com www.batch.hpg.com.br

::start program.exe %1 ::end that works in Win2000!
