Google Earth control

Google Earth control

Google Earth control

(OP)
It is possible to call Google Earth by simply
entering -- for example: RUN "C:\program files\google\google earth\googleearth.exe"

The QUESTION is:

how do you pass this program a file name?

(In Google Earth one can tell it where to look
/ what to show by simply using the mouse and dragging a file name on top of the program.)

There must be a simple way to hand that program the
file.

RE: Google Earth control

Did you try appending the full path to your file on the command line you used to start Earth?
