few things are going wrong,

1. maybe shellopen isnt an activeX, javasxript or whatever fscommand it can be…
2. your path, i believe, is wrong, since windows uses backslashes\ instead of slashes/ (or the other way around, whatever)

Only to open the program(Messenger) or send a new message?

ummmm!!!..

Open a new empty message:  
on (release) {  
getURL(“mailto:”, “\_parent”);  
}

launch the program:  
on (release) {  
fscommand(“exec”, “launcher.bat”);  
}  
u must make a file.bat and place the right path inside.
