Cmd lines

Right im creating an application to load exe's but I have a problem

I have 2 forms
Menu
Admin

The menu has links to open applications such as notepad using images.
The Admin Page should contain text box's to enter a command line for an image on menu to use

So same img1 uses the command line notepad.exe
and an admin wanted to change that to paint.exe then he could just change the command line (textbox called img1cmd) on the admin page to change it.

Is there anyway possible to do this? Or am I going the wrong way around this.

Please Help

What do you have coded so far?

Visit www.mvps.org and you might find some existing code that addresses your situation, it's an excellent site with an excellent VB section.

I have point out my "notepad.exe" this needs to change using a textbox in my admin page
Sorry such a newb. Only done some simple stuff in VB before.

I am creating this for a "games cafe" which users come in to play games across a LAN. I want the user to be able to just press an icon and it to launch a game. The problem is if they change a location of the .exe file I want an admin to change the cmd path to the new .exe

Also I would like a timer to count how many minutes they have been using the pc so they can be charged for how long they have been using it. I plan to disable the close button or deactivate it for normal users.

A "games cafe" in VB hardly qualifies as "simple".

Put the desired path in a global variable or class property. In the snip you posted, use that variable content instead of "notepad.exe"

I didn't say it was simple, I said I had only done some simple stuff before. What's a global variable/class property? I don't understand sorry. But will have a mess around tomorrow when I have chance.

If you don't understand these terms you should start at the beginning and learn the fundamentals of VB

Yeah I need to you recommend any websites or books?

I started with the MS documentation that comes with VB and is also online at the MSDN library, and never found much need to go further. In VB6 if you declare a variable as PUBLIC in a module, it's global, and available from any form. For myself, in my VB6 apps I generally start with a public class "MyApp" and stuff application-wide properties as class properties.
