Problem on opening OneNote web using a batch script

Question

Hello there,

I am trying to open my OneNote web using a batch script.

I copied the "link to this page". I created a simple batch file like - start chrome.exe "the URL".

But, when I run the batch script it opens the web page saying:

This item might not exist or is no longer available

This item might have been deleted, expired, or you might not have permission to view it. Contact the owner of this item for more information.

This is when I can open the page with the same link directly on the browser or even with the same comment line on CMD.

Answer 1

Thank you for the explanation.

Answer 2

Thank you for your reply Bernd,

It works fine.

Why batch: opening the page is not the final goal here. the script will eventually open different pages under different conditions.

Thanks,

Answer 3

The problem is caused by the "%" characters in the URL. Double it all. Then it works. Tested it 😁

BTW: Why a batch file, not a desktop shortcut ?
