Is it a bug ?

[Someone]

Hi

When i run this vbs script :

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Return = WshShell.Run("notepad ", 1, true)
return = wshShell.Run ("explorer.exe ", 1, true)
return = wshShell.Run ("regedit ", 1, true)

Why doesn't the script correctly runs ? it should run regedit only after
explorer is closed, but it runs both.
It's XPe with SP1.

Any idea ?
Thanks in adavnce for any help

Hi Jorge

It's not a bug.... it's a feature!


explorer is part of the main shell and is allways open.
So, it will open the regedit imediately.
Extend your script with a notepad again, and
you will see the correct way...
So, don't start explorer direct.
btw: you can't close explorer.exe....
it's the shell!
