Hello,

Accuterm 7.3.  This is probably a Windows 10 Pro (on a VM accessed via RDP) issue but it involves running Accuterm scripts.  This is Linux D3 via SSH.

I have an scott.atsc file that does the D3 Linux login/logon for me and starts my scott.atcf session.

When I double-click on that directly, all is good.... works from the desktop short-cut, and also from "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Atwin71\\scott.atcf", and from "Scott Ballinger > Documents > scott.atsc"  (I copied the .atcf and .atsc files from "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Atwin71\\" to "Scott Ballinger > Documents", although who knows where the "Desktop" or "Documents" folders actually are in the Windows "one-drive" universe (as in internet file-space, not UV)  anyway?

So I dragged-and-dropped the desktop shortcut to the task bar and "pinned" it there. Now when I right-click on the taskbar AT icon I get a list of all the .atsc and atcf files I have ever touched.  If I pick the one on top (scott.atsc)  or the "recent" one, everything works as expected. Yeah!!!
BUT IF I JUST DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE AT ICON IN THE TASKBAR  IT JUST HANGS WITH THE BOTTOM SCREEN MESSAGE "create a new session or open an existing one? ???
How do I get the task bar shortcut to execute the .atsc file instead of just the regular accuterm .exe?
I have tried dragging the "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Atwin71\\scott.atsc" file to the task bar and pinning it there, but no joy with that either.
Suggestions? or maybe just some education.
Thanks,
/Scott Ballinger

Hi Scott - 

I could not figure out the "secret" to pinning a shortcut to the taskbar. Try this with a known extension like .txt and when you discover the secret I would bet the same will work with .atcf / .atsp shortcuts as well.

Thanks, Pete
