Can't Launch Programs/Documents

Top  Previous  Next

If FARR is not launching a file or document, there are several things that could be wrong.

 

1. Experiment with the different "launch methods" that FARR supports, in the options dialog General Tab.  See this thread for more info: http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=13779.0

 

2. Some security programs can interfere with FARR's launching of programs.  For example the Comodo HIPs program causes the error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" to be shown.  For more info see: http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=18716

 

3. FARR fails to launch files with hidden spaces at the start or end of their filenames.. If most files open with FARR but some fail.. Find the file and see if it has an extra space at the end of the filename.
