What I'm trying to do is invoke `PresentationSettings /start` from an HTA. It works fine from a normal command prompt, but when I try from an HTA, no dice. I assumed there was a permissions issue, so I made sure to run the HTA as administrator, and then the command as an administrator, like so:
var shellApp = new ActiveXObject('Shell.Application');
// Just open the GUI and keep command prompt open for testing
shellApp.ShellExecute("cmd", "/k PresentationSettings", "", "open", 1);
Unfortunately, I get the message:
`'PresentationSettings' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.`
If I try `dir c:\windows\system32\PresentationSettings.exe`, I get file not found, but when I try from a "normal" command prompt, it works.
Anyone know of a tip/trick/hack to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
