Hi, If its an application which is not in the list accessible by applescript, you need to use finder to open it
Tell application "skype"activate Endt tell Tell application "finder" Open "application.app" of folder "applications" of startup disk End tell Just on top of my head, but this is what is done for documents and folders, so it also applies to files thus applications and scripts too.
