As another example, the following command forces Excel to bypass all files that are stored in startup directories, such as the default XLStart folder located in the directory where Excel or the 2007 Microsoft Office system is installed.

or

You can launch Office word/excel/powerpoint using the following commands,

And you could use the arguments like @Mehper C. Palavuzlar mentioned/

for example,

Powerpoint - powerpnt 'C:Usersadmintest.pptx'

• powerpnt.exe (or powerpnt) for launching MS Powerpoint
• winword.exe (or winword) for launching MS Word
• excel.exe (or excel) for launching MS Excel
