I use ffmpeg to convert video for my phone, and I use shortcuts in SendTo for Notepad, but never thought about putting a vbs script in there. Thanks very much for this tip! Now I can listen to wma files on my phone. This works great!

You just need to manually put real quotes in. As for the rest, you must be doing something wrong. Use WScript.Echo objExec to return the string, then type that into a cmd, see if it works from there. It should display an error, and you can take it from there.

I finally figured out that you had to open that up in wordpad change the quotes by retyping them, also the longest line of code needs to all be on one line, and it needs to be saved in "unicode text" well I got it to run the script. the issue is that when you copy from “firefox” the quotation marks become smart quotes and the script can’t read them.
