Process().start does not respect the environment

[bbranded]

Hello, I'm not talking about Kyoto Protocol compliance... it appears that process().start does not respect the PATH environmental variable. This may be the way that the function works, however; I'm storing the exe that will be started in a path that is in the PATH and attempting to start() it withotu specifying a path. Is it possible to get start() to search the paths in the PATH variable and have no console window pop up? Apparently, the UseShellExecute property of startupinfo causes a console window to popup even if createnowindow is set to true. string ApplicationPath = ("desktopiconcmd.exe"); string ApplicationArguments = "save /y"; Process ProcessObj = new Process(); ProcessObj.StartInfo.FileName = ApplicationPath; ProcessObj.StartInfo.Arguments = ApplicationArguments; ProcessObj.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true; ProcessObj.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; ProcessObj.Start(); ProcessObj.WaitForExit(); Thanks, Matt

Problem solved: ProcessObj.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = true[^] ProcessObj.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false[^] string ApplicationPath = ("desktopiconcmd.exe"); string ApplicationArguments = "save /y"; Process ProcessObj = new Process(); ProcessObj.StartInfo.FileName = ApplicationPath; ProcessObj.StartInfo.Arguments = ApplicationArguments; ProcessObj.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = true; ProcessObj.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; ProcessObj.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; //ProcessObj.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; //ProcessObj.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true; ProcessObj.Start(); ProcessObj.WaitForExit(); //StreamReader srOut = ProcessObj.StandardOutput; //string sOutput = srOut.ReadToEnd(); //srOut.Close(); //MessageBox.Show(sOutput);
