      I know how to navigate to the standard_menu toolbar, and it works now pointing to a portable version of a chrome derivative.

      Include, Internal Frame
      Include, Internal Document Background
      Item, "Open in Pesla"=Execute program, "C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Portable Apps\IronPortable\IronPortable.exe", "%u",,"Iron"

      However, I want to change it to a program in a different section (Standard installation) and substituting the new local address doesn't seem to work.

      What am I doing wrong?

      Include, Internal Frame
      Include, Internal Document Background
      Item, "Open in Pesla"=Execute program, "C:\Program Files\SRWare Iron\iron.exe", "%u",,"Iron"

      Could someone look at my syntax and see what I am doing wrong?

        Try putting inverted commas before "Execute" and at the very end.
        🙂

          Still having trouble.

          So this is the original.

          Item, "Open in Pesla"=Execute program, "C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Portable Apps\IronPortable\IronPortable.exe", "%u",,"Iron"

          This is what I tried. and it still doesn't work.

          Could you copy and may insert these commas, because what I am doing is not working.

          Item, "Open in Pesla"=Execute program, "C:\Program Files\SRWare Iron\iron.exe", "%u",,"Iron"

            He was suggesting you quote the entire right side - it really shouldn't matter, but can't hurt.

            Are you sure that is the right path for Iron?

              Yes, I'm pretty sure.

              I've even gone as far to create a shortcut to get the syntax right.

              I'll try this as a modification. maybe remove the quotes around the path....

                If you use the old school DOS names in the path you shouldn't need quotes.
                They're only needed because there are spaces in the path.
                I don't know what OS you're using, it may not work on Windows 7/8, but on XP this should work.
