Launch Shortcut via in the code view

I want to launch the a dial up short cut.

However, I don't know how to do this and I am getting an error (11)

I know the shortcut has a .LNK extension, but it still giving me an error.

I really am not all the comfortable with the RASDIAL thing.

Try this:

Run Program>rasphone

Thanks, but I still would like to call the shortcut and execute it that way.

Would anyone know if that is possible to begin with as there are a lot of shortcuts that are made from the Control Panel that I somehow would like to call.

Act like a real man, click this link

RUNDLL32

You'll be able to use it like this within a MacroScheduler script (which opens the regional settings time&date control panel).

Run Program>RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL TIMEDATE.CPL,@0,1

Thanks again Lumumba for another good link.
On the RUN32DLL link you provided the following seems to apply exactly to rh2001's original question:

21. Start "DialUp Connection" Wizard (Windows 95):

RUNDLL RNAUI.DLL,RnaWizard

22. Start DialUp Network:
(Credits for these commands: Michael J. Gregg and Tom Lavedas)

START RUNDLL32 RNAUI.DLL,RnaDial exact name of dialer entry
TRACERT -h 1 -w 1

The RUNDLL command starts DUN, the TRACERT command is supposed to actually start the dialing process. Since I do not have access to any PC with DUN installed, I could not test the TRACERT command's effect.

Use the RASPHONE command in Windows NT, which can also hang up the connection (credits: Simon Sheppard).

Yep, I've seen it as well, but ...

START RUNDLL32 RNAUI.DLL,RnaDial exact name of dialer entry

that component isn't (?) available on my system (W2K), now its up to him to check this out. Thx, Bob.

OK, I tried using RUNDLL32.

However, this is on Windows 2000 so RNAUI is not there.

Also when I try RASDIAL, is asks for the phone book entry but it's not there of course......

Nevertheless, I can get the network window to open and I can see the dial up connection.

But I really want to access this dial up connection directly via a command

I know some programs in their initial install and subsequent registriation process will automatically start up the dial up connection and not even use the browser at that.

Any oher suggestions?

RASDial (Freeware)
auto dialer. useful in programs such as Pegasus Mail and Mercury mail transport system to work around problems in auto dialing using Dial-up networking / RAS in Windows and Windows NT

[RASDial95 1.2 - Download] recommended by Loriss @ the AutoHotkey forum

rasdial seems to work.

I still had to add a connection name, phone, user id and password which it would seem to already defined in the connection name entry

anyway, seems to work

thanks!!
