Re: Generic Script Resource

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Here's another (very obvious once you see it) solution:

In the command line parameter of the Generic application use:

cmd.exe /k abecmd /enable /all <or sharename as required>

The "/k" switch prevents CMD from exiting thus the resource's process
does not "terminate" causing the failed state.
Also clear "enable application to interact with the desktop" or you'll
see an annoying cmd window that you can't get rid of.
