Wanted to find out, if in Win XP Pro if there is a way to set a program or
an application to Windows 98 Compatibility Mode using the commnad line ,or
run the program with a switch or through a script (VBscript)

I am trying to have a a certain app run in Windows 98 Compatibility Mode
every time it opens. Since I have a lot of users I want to automate it
instead of going to set this on all the workstations that has this app.

Create a compatibility database and then distribute it to the other
machines.

Why not just use a shortcut?
