"C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe"
I want to run this command from the main menu. I already have the skin modded to do this, the problem is that when I click on the menu item and run it i get an error saying windows can't find it. This makes no sense at all to me since I can run the exact same command from a console windows (cmd.exe) and it runs find. I can run it from a batch and it runs fine. the problem seems to have to do with XBMC.

The reason I want to do this is because I run XBMC as the shell for one of my user accounts on the computer and I want a way to easily switch users. tsdiscon.exe disconnects the session which leaves the user log in but send you back to the switch user screen.

I have tried the following

Code:

<onclick>System.Exec(""C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe"")</onclick>
<onclick>System.Exec("C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe")</onclick>
<onclick>System.Exec(""D:\Program Files\tsdiscon.bat"")</onclick>

tsdiscon.bat contains

Code:

START "Switch User" "C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe"

How about:

Code:

<onclick>System.Exec(C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe)</onclick>

Try escaping the backspaces in the path with a backspace i.e.

Code:

C:\\Windows\\System32\\tsdiscon.exe

Thanks guys, I tried both of your suggestions but they didn't work. I finally figured it out. It must have been a permission problem. I tried lunching notepad which is in the same directory and that worked fine. So then I gave read & execute permission to the user account for XBMC on tsdiscon.exe and it worked. I do most of my testing in a different user account, when I tested it in the XBMC account I must have already been elevated, so it worked form the console, but not XBMC.

xbmc is not going to pick up the back slash when specifying a directory, use the foward slash instead of

<onclick>System.Exec(""D:\Program Files\tsdiscon.bat"")</onclick>
use
<onclick>System.Exec(""D:/Program Files/tsdiscon.bat"")</onclick>
worked for me

Incase anyone lands here looking for a solution, I got mine working like this

Code:

<onclick>AlarmClock(exit,RunScript(special://skin/system/LogOut.py),00:3,silent,)</onclick>

logout.py

Code:

import ctypes
ctypes.windll.user32.LockWorkStation()

Hope this helps!
