Hello,

We are looking to use TS to have users connect to Access DBs on a
server.

We do not wanting them to have access to Explorer (start menu, etc.),
so we have it launch ".../access.exe [thedb.mdb]"

An issue arose with printing speed, and Access macros that will not
allow you to change the printer.

I've devised the idea to start the Control Panel "applet" for printers
and run MS Access to open the DB.

I've come up with the following two run lines.
to launch the printer selection window:
"explorer
file:///::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}"

and the one to launch msaccess and scripted them using AutoIt scripting
to create an exe (VBScripts won't run when they're put in the RD
client).

The issue is, when you run the explorer file:///::... it launches
explorer; which I don't want to happen.

Is there an alternate way to trigger the printer selection window?
Is there a way to run these file:///... protocol executions without
explorer?


Thanks,

Matt
