| 369495 | 2005-07-04 23:58:00 | In the July issue of PC World NZ, Windows' Advisor (page 82), there is an article on the "hidden image viewer" shortcut. In the Create Shortcut dialog box I entered:- rundll32.exe%SystemRoot%\system32\shimgvw.dll,Imag eView_Fullscreen as shown, but when I entered "Next" I got a message saying:- The file <rundll32.exe ........View_Fullscreen> could not be found. Both files, rundll32.exe and shimgvw.dll are in the Windows\System32 folder. Anyone got any suggestions? Windows XP Pro, SP2. |

Edit, just seen Grahams post, I couldn't write the full line without getting a dreaded extra space :) So just make sure you type the command with a space between rundll32.exe and %systemroot% |

| 369498 | 2005-07-05 02:06:00 | That's why I made it a "conditional statement". :D But it looks as if I was on the right track. Space characters cause lots of problems. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 369499 | 2005-07-05 02:55:00 | Graham and Terry, Thanks for your replies. Adding the space between rundll32.exe and %..... solved the problem. |
