Parses a command line and runs legacy programs

Syntax

void WINAPI AppCompat_RunDLLW (
    HWND unusedHwnd,
    HINSTANCE unusedHinstance,
    LPWSTR commandLine,
    int unusedInt
)

Parameters

unusedHwnd
Not used
unusedHinstance
Not used
commandLine
Command line to issue
unusedint
Not used

Return Value

None

Remarks

CommandLine can be "scandskw" without quotes to launch a scandisk dialog box. Note that this cannot be triggered by using "rundll32 shell32.dll,AppCompat_RunDllW scandskw" in the run dialog box as the command line is passed to the function as an ascii string which fails the StrCmpICW string comparison used by AppCompat_RunDLLW
