Command Line Parameters - Launched from a form

[sesling]

I have created several forms that will launch various programs. One of the programs is Putty. see command line below

"c:\program files\putty\putty.exe"

Is there a way to pass in a command that will open the window maximized?
Currently the window opens in normal mode.

If that is not possible, can I call via a command line a desktop shortcut? I have several putty shortcuts that open in maximized screen mode.

What code are u using to open putty?
U could use Shell and tell it to open maximised

eg

Shell "c:\program files\putty\putty.exe", vbMaximizedFocus

there is also ShellExecute, requires use of an API but the above is easier

here is the statement I am running

Private Sub Command281_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command281_Click

Dim stAppName As String

stAppName = "C:\Program Files\Putty\putty.exe "
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)

Exit_Command281_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command281_Click:
MsgBox Err.DESCRIPTION
Resume Exit_Command281_Click

End Sub

Where would the maximize command go?
