[Bob Sneidar]

very likely a DOS switch. /s probably does something in terms of the secuity context it launches in.

The EXE runs fine on some of their computers but not on others.  I have many, many other clients that have no problem at all.  This is unique to this client.  After fiddling with it for sometime, they say they have a workaround:  If they create a shortcut to the exe, and change the name of the shortcut from "appName.exe" to "appName.exe /s" then it works fine.   Does this make sense to anyone?  What does this mean?
