batch file to execute a windows shortcut

Comment:
I want to create a batch file which executes a windows shortcut. This might sound a bit strange (why dont I just execute the file directly from the batch I hear you say???) The reason is I'm attemting to run the MiniMax webserver which has to be run using a shortcut to tell the server where the webroot directory is. The strange thing, is when I try to execute the shortcut using a batch, it starts the webserver but it doesnt seem to know where the webroot dir is. However, when the shortcut is clicked to execute, this is not a problem. I'm using WinNT 4. Please help.... I'm tearing my hear out.

Check the working directory of the batch file. You may find changing this will fix the problem. Not sure if it will or not, but worth messing with (Properties of the batch file itself.)
