Since Shortcuts to applications aren't recognized by DOS, you can't execute them directly.
However, there is a way to launch them, either from the prompt, or from a batch file:
- Type the following: start "c:\directory\Shortcut to Someprog.exe.lnk", where c:\directory is the full path containing the shortcut, and Shortcut to Someprog.exe.lnk is the filename of the shortcut.
